Thank you both for replying. I'm waiting on insurance approval so I don't have a date yet. I was happy when I made the decision to have the gastric bypass because I felt like I was given a second chance but last week when I went to see my surgeon for the final visit before the surgery he told that my risk for gastric leak is higher because I had surgery before and that just killed my spirit. He didn't say that it will happen but he wanted me to know of the possibility that it could happen. I know with ever surgery comes a number of possible complications but I keep asking myself if i should put myself at risk, @abbybeep ...after all you have went through do you regret anything? I'm worried that if I don't go through with it I will the surgery I will regret it because I will continue to be over weight.

I would def hand her one of your surgeons cards!!lol some people just can't help themselves!

Whats that line: " You can never be too rich or too thin." Add that you're working on the rich part!

"Girl, you are too nosey and need to stop minding my business!"

How about "I have a GREAT surgeon, I can give you his number. He could do wonders with you!" No? Too mean? Lol
Seriously, I wouldn't even respond. Just ignore the comment and move on. Eventually if you ignore her enough she might take the hint and shut up.

18 pounds down!

Surgery tomorrow @ 8am. Today is sugar free Jello, Decaf tea and chicken broth. I'm starving!
Thankfully I won't feel that way soon!

Well. In 06 I discovered my husband had been cheating homosexuality since we wed. I gave chance after chance and nothing. Finally it hit me one day I don't need him so I began getting my life I. Order the surgery etc and knew I was filing after surgery. I ended mine but it was something I had to do I cpuldnt take the betrayal any longer. Towards the end he changed fro jekyl to hide constsntly. I vowed this. I made the choice to better my self and left. Rny can someti ed be our fairy god mothers. Hugs!

Thank you! This really does help. I'm hoping for a surgery date in May but it will most likely be June.

Just an update...
I ran my first 5 K and I kicked its butt!! No, I didn't break any records, but I ran the whole thing without stopping. 41:25 was my time. I am super proud that I did it! Felt great!!!

It seemed mine got worse. I started having problems in 2004 due to a call I responded to. Since then I've had nothing bit sleep problems. I bet yall can relate to this. . I always say o wished I could lay my head down and go to sleep normally again...I dont see that ever occuring naturally again. However seeing that half the board has this at least I know when I can sleep yall will be here at ,2am to chat with lol

Hello everyone... I'm looking for buddies/mentors in Ohio . I live in Columbus , would be great to meet people in my area to share my journey with. I'm scheduled for my sleeve to bypass revision surgery on May 7.

I just got a call from my doc... I AM APPROVED!!! Finally! In shock! Yeeaaaaah!

I had the vsg done in November 2012.... it has been awful ! It made my GERD 10 times worse , I can't tolerate any solid food.... so , I'm scheduled for my revision to RNY May 7th. I wish I had went with my gut ( no pun intended) the first go around. It ultimately is your decision, your choice , all I would offer is trust your own judgement and don't just go with what's popular at the moment. Good luck and God Bless

Sounds like u could use a Buddy for accountablity? I dunno I'm still preop and NOT looking forward to the diet I have to do before surgery because i always eat when i am not really hungry and keep eating because it taste good(does that make me an addict)lol yet super excited to get the word I have a date! Maybe if u had someone u could talk to when I have there's struggles with food&stress? Just my 2 cents? :-)

I was at Sycamore too. Nice hospital!

Rny Dayton at Sycamore In the first two weeks of June.
