Thought I'd throw my pic into the thread! Rny has made my life so much more amazing. Sleep apnea..high blood pressure..insulin resistance..gone!

I take Pepcid 2x a day as a preventative. I'm the rare person who is on aspirin therapy post rny. I was on aspirin therapy before surgery and my surgeon consulted with my hematologist and aspirin was my best course of treatment right now for a clotting disorder. I take it and am over 6mo post op and haven't had any problem. I am aware per my surgeon I will have to take this or another preventative med for the rest of my life..or as long as I am on aspirin therapy. I think generally some surgeons do like to keep patients on a acid blocker etc for the 1st 6 months..as is my understanding.

Hate to hear you are having to go through this. As a nurse I could think of 2 other patients with sleeve to bypass for kinda similar reason in the medical facility I worked at. It's got to be scary and I wish you nothing but the best. Let us know how you are doing. If I can help in any way..advise, listening ear etc please feel free to message me.

Steak,asparagus, and sautéed mushrooms. Pretty awesome

Hubby is sending me to buy clothes!! Apparently the saggy butt and 3 sizes too big tops aren't cutting it much anymore. I've literally bought nothing so this is so thrilling to me. I had said no clothes til I hit goal but at this rate im barely keeping my panties up! Feels like Christmas. Kinda excited to see what size I can truly fit into.

Kick that man in gear!!! Make him go take u and show u off We had the military ball which I was nervous about in Oct but I'm honestly excited about his Christmas party this year. Hope u get to go! It's nice to have something to look forward to

Thank u!

Looking amazing!!

Looking good!!!

Sending prayers your way. You have been through a lot and I'm so sorry u had to go through all of that. Hopefully the rest of your journey will be eventful only in the success and weigh loss u have! Speedy recovery!

Center of excellence are what I've researched to be the best places with highest results. While there is always a risk with any major surgery with something going wrong the facilities that have generally been designated as "Center of Excellence" do a high volume of patients and usually less complications. I had a cousin die back in the late 80s from "stomach stapling" but I think it was more complications from other things months afterwards. People will have plenty of horror stories and I was scared myself. Even going as far as writing my kiddo a note and telling everyone I loved them...just in case. As many horror stories as u may hear...there are so many success stories too.. Just simply browse this forum a while. Good luck on your journey and overall it's something you have to weigh the personal risks of. The real horror story to me was being so young and so unhealthy and knowing I was cheating myself and my family with a healthy normal life.

I used them while recovering but not really sure it helped. More of it was walking that helped the most.... I use em now tho! While I am proud of my post op weight loss the gas after surgery is nothing pretty ..as u will find plenty of us talking about noticing post op :/

Pass them along please

Have I told u guys just how much I love y'all? We got the best group of folks for April!!

Do they think could be related to any meds?

Hope they can find out what's up with all of that. Glad u got a positive spin tho.

Hope u guys have had a great Halloween. Hope behaved a bit better than I have..I've been a bit naughty! Had a few pieces of candy :/

My 6 month also!!! Wow! This group has come so far!!!

You look amazing!!!!

I do I honestly am trying hard to focus on the positive after losing the twins. Things still feel crazy and hurt so bad but there's still some good left in my life. I have my hubby and son and I can say I am blessed no matter how bad losing the babies hurt. If I ever get these hormones right...idk...at least I know I can get pregnant now. Rny was a success.
