I live in Pensacola too. But I had my surgery in Mobile. I've heard good things about Dr. Lord. Good luck!!!

I drink regular coffee too. I don't finish a cup, but I do have it. I gave up sodas and I'm not gonna give up coffee to.

OK, all I did was ask if she was a lawyer. Not because one profession or any type of education has anything to do with physical or verball abuse. My point was if things got bad she might have the means to get out. Not everyone is finacially able to get out of a situation without help from the outside world. NOBODY deserves to be belittled no matter who or what they are.

Are you a lawyer? I'm sorry you're going through that. NOBODY deserves that. Especially from a spouse. Stay srong, you can do this. And if things don't chnage than it;s time for you to get out. It will probably get worse once you lose the weight. Jealousy is a crazy thing. Good Luck hun. I'm sure you'll make the right decision. Only you can decide....

we had surgery the same day. I've lost 15lbs since surgery. It will happen, but it's frustrating I know...

DL you hit the nail on the head!! I think you should be the president of RNY!!!! I love your approach and attitude !!! I always feel better after hearing from you!! Btw I just left my first post op, I'm down 21.5 lbs since surgery and my dr cleared me for regular food....I'm scared

I think that it's important to understand that there is risk involved with any surgery and RNY is no exception. There are heartbreaking stories. No one can ever be absolutely certain that the surgery will be successful or that there will not be complications, some quite serious. It's also important to understand that there is risk involved with obesity and with the numerous secondary problems, some quite serious, that often result from being obese.There simply are no guarantees, no absolutes, whichever way you go. I'm almost 33 weeks out, 173 lbs (from a high of 285), and I'd do it again in a second. My wife is 40 weeks out, 199 lbs, and would do it again in a second. My brother is 14 years post-op, 174 lbs, and would do it again in a second. My best friend is 6 years post-op, 225 lbs and celebrates his new life every day.
Like many others, I did exhaustive research before making the decision to go under the knife. Based on the most current information available from the very best, most respected, most experienced sources I could find, I concluded that the odds are overwhelmingly in my favor for a successful long term outcome.

I'm also wondering the same things. My surgery is on the 24th. I would like info on Hospital, and post-op.

I had a Psych and Nut eval. I also had an upper GI, gallbladder US, EKG, x-ray and blood work.
Surgery is Friday...YEAH!!!

Now you know you can't leave us hanging. Please do tell?

Just a little FYI. Even if no one responds to me. Which is cool. Please make sure you take your Vitamins. They're not only good for your overall health, but you also need them to keep your teeth. Especially the Calcium. Your teeth will rott and fall out if you don't maintain your vitamins. Know one has said anything about this subject. So I figured I would bring it up....

1. Knowing what it feels like to be thin. (Never have been)
2. Crossing my legs! (Never been able to do that)
3. Playing more with my kids.
4. Being able to ride amusement park rides.
5. Not having the seatbelt lock on me every time I bend over in the car.
6. Climbing stairs without breathing so hard.
7. Buying cute clothes.
8. Being more self-confident.
9. Not being "the heaviest friend"
10. Dancing.

I have never been thin so I really don't know how it feels. I would love to be a size 6/8. Actually anything out of plus size would be Fab!!

I'm so excited! I was approved today for GB. What makes it even better is how fast my Ins is (Anthem BC/BS). They told the lady over the phone that I was approved and she called me right away!! My surgery will be in Aug. I have to take a begin class on Wed and then I will get my date..YEAH!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
