Hello! I amnalso I Durban and woukd be more than willing to help you with any information that I can. On 27.11.2013 I will be 1 year post op. Its the best decision I ever made Ive had RNY. My resukts are ohenomenal! I wouldn't like to be seen as advertising on the forums, but I'll gladly give you the name of of surgeon who from my research came out at the experts in the field. If you reply with your email address ill mail you the details.

Thanks. That's very helpful

I know that it is normal to not be hungry post RNY. I am 10 days out. Up to today, if been managing to eat, even though I am not hungry. I set alarms to remind me to eat. But today has been a very different day. I simply have not been able to eat today. One teaspoon and I want to vomit. I am not feeling sick and nauseous, it's just that I can't bare to eat a thing I am so full. Is it OK to have the days? My total calories today were 97 cals. I am taking all my vitamins.

27 November. South Africa

My pre op diet is 1 week mushies, 4 days full liquids and 3 days Clear Liquids. I'm nervous for the clear liquid part. LOL.

Thanks Vicky. I will be working with my therapists so I have professional support to help me deal with all the emotions. I'm so excited. How are you managing with the pre op diet I'm so worried about the broth part. How will I survive!

My dream seems to becoming a reality. It looks like I will have my surgery before the end of November 2012. This confirms for me that its no longer a dream, but a reality, and now I have such mixed emotions. I am so excited, yet I am also scared. I know I'm ready, and I know I want and need this gift and I know I'm in this for the long haul, and ere is no turning back, but for some reason I am scared. My head just can seem to comprehend the tiny amounts of food that I will be eating! I have researched all the options extensively, so I know RNY is the right choice for me, and my surgeon agrees. Is it normal to be scared?

Thanks Carieka. Will accept when I get home. I'm currently in Turkey.

Do you have BBM? My pin is 28F66939. I am still prep. Documents have been sent to medical aid. And I'm waiting their answer.

Hi Carike. I'm also from SA. I'd love to chat to you. Where are you in your process?

Fortune, have you tried the Unitas hospital. They also have a bariatric centre of excellence.

Hi Fortune. I am from Durban. I contacted the bariatric team at St Augustine's Hospital.

Thanks Vicky. So happy you are approved.

My documents have been submitted to insurance. So excited but very nervous. They have asked for 2 more reports, which will be submitted on Monday, and then when those are received by them, they will give me an answer within 48 hours. I can hardly breathe I am so afraid the answer is goi g to be no. I don't know how. Will cope if they say no. Please send loads of positive energy this way and pray for a yes. Thanks everyone.

Woohoo. Congrats. Very happy for you.
