Hello just wanted to start a new thread. I just recently had my surgery on 11/19. Im home now and to be honest its a little rough. Just looking to conversate with people who are going through the same things as me....

Im post op day for and still have some pain. I added in protein shakes today but drinking all the required liquids seem overwhelming. I also just took my pain meds and itseems as if my little tummy doesnt like it since it came right back up. Linds I know how you feel about questionig everything. I keep telling myself it will get better but right now its hard...

Since they changed the websites around. I want to reintroduce myself so that I can meet people are are going through the same thing as me. I am 28yrs old I just recently had surgery on 11/19. I had RNY. I just came home from the hospital and still on clear liquids. Doctora said I can add shakes in tomorrow. Would like to stay in touch with everyone since we are going through similar things.

So glad everyone is doing well. Im still in the hospital but the pain is improving. Happy Birthday Linds and good luck!

Hello. I had my surgery on the 19th. Im having a lot of pain. This morning it seems to be more on the left side. Has anyone elsw experienced this?

Congratulations! He is adorable!

Me too! 25 more days!

Yay!! We're surgery day buddies!

I got my call with approval today too. I am so excited!

Just got my approval. Surgery is November 19!

I am trying a semi liquid diet just to see if I can handle it. I say semi liquid because if I get really hungry I will have a salad. The first few days are hard but it does get easier.

You look great!

Hello everyone, I've been reading the boards for quite some time but I never felt the courage to join until now. I have never been comfortable talking about my weight but I guess here would be the best place. I have been battling my weight since my childhood. I was never the never a really big kid, just slightly thicker than the other girls. It has followed me into my adult hood. I have let my weight hold me back from many things. Ive tried different diets and pills and always gained the weight back. I had never really researched weight loss surgeries until recentily. I realized that I will never be fulliy happy until I am happy with myself, and the excess weight is why I am not happy. I also want to be healthy, I feel like I am not givinng my I children the best me, I am always too tired to play and dont want to do many physical activites. So I had my first appt with the surgeon in may. He told me something that confirmed my decision. He said you are only 27yrs old and almost 300lbs. That has stuck with me. Although I know im overweight I never realized that im that big if that makes sense. A lot of people say I dont look as much as I weigh so maybe thats why. I dont know. I just know It is time for a change. At first I wanted the sleeve but I was told that my insurance does not cover it. My surgeon also said that he thinks RNY would give me the best results since I want to loose about 150lbs. So ive gotten use to the idea of RNY then at my recent appt I was told that my insurance now covers the sleeve. Im so confused. I know there are risk with both and I just want to make the best decision that will yeild me the best results. I love sweets so I'm leaning more towards RNY. I am in the process of the required 6 monthly visits. I have three more to go. What im interested in is learning how life is after RNY. What are social situations like? I have only told my mother, people can be really critical and I dont want anyone saying im taking the easy route. I Also want to meet some people in my age range. im 27 will be turning 28 in Oct. I want to see how life is post surgery. Most of all just looking foward to positive support.
