  1. You Guys are awesome! Thanks so much for your honesty & feed back! You guys have changed my thoughts on RNY. I was leaning more towards the sleeve but now doing more research on RNY (since I spent almost 3 months researching the sleeve) and now I feel I should do some more research on RNY. I am 38 years old , mother of 4 one grandson . I want to live to see my kids and grandson for years to come. I weight 318 pounds I'm 5'3 . I have a small hiatal hernia, bad reflux and now I was told that I have a gallstone and my gallbladder might have to be removed. Scared outta my wits!!!! I also have bad bad PMS, low on iron , vitamin D and B1 . My whole systems outta wack! Lol but I hope to get everything under control and live a better life. I've been obese for the past 11-12 years and overweight for a good part of my life. I know I'm pretty and it's so great to hear everyone say, oh your so pretty (but if only she could lose some weight) it gets tiring listening to that but my biggest thing is losing it before my body completely shuts down and then I won't be able to do anything about it. My surgeon says the best thing for me is RNY but I hear so much about how people have gained weight after 5 years, how people are so low on iron and sick to their stomach because of dumping but I also see the ones that have some great and have no complaints! I will continue reading all your comments and will definitely open the doors to RNY until I reach my decision. For now I have to be on iron pills and vitamin D and b1 for 12 weeks hopefully my iron and everything else we back to normal. I do believe me not eating well and not taking good care of myself plus my PERIOD! Lol has my system (body) all outta wack! Thanks so much again a for your time and best wishes to all of us in this journey! Before & after!!! Good luck! ❤????
  2. Please anyone feel free to explain
  3. Isn't anyone worried about that? And how about the second stomach that's tied up and not in use? Is it ok to live like that? I'm just curious and worried and the same time ????
