    I have a pretty lax pre op too! 13 days of low carb high Protein foods or shakes whatever I choose then 1 day of bowel prep. I've only lost 7 pounds but I've lost a clothes size. I've focused more on exercise than strict diet. I don't eat horrible but not strict on a plan. I do exercise 3-4days a week and get in at least 7000 steps a day when not exercising. I can only thank God for the ability to do things I haven't done in years. All in preparation for this surgery. This surgery is going to help us do so much . I can't wait to see what God has in store. :)

    I know I'm so excited just paid doc n hospital today an signed all the last paperwork given instructions for the bowel prep n meds to fill before nausea patch n some tylonal 3 I'm already on percocet everyday for pain that t3 ant gana get it lol but I'm getting so excited an nervous!!!

    I also thought by going the distance with the RNY' date=' I would avoid the possible need for sleeve and band revisions that I was reading about. However, there are other things to consider, like not being able to take NSAIDS ever again. If you develop arthritis as you age, you will miss out on a major class of pain relievers. I'm way past that point and about to have my 2nd joint replacement, but it is a valid concern.[/quote']

    I have arthritis in both knees at 43 an my back just started but I don't take those meds anyway I don't like them I am on percocet n muscle relaxers for pinch nerves one in right side of neck I need surgery on but waiting till next year cuz u have to me out of work so long an I hope getting some weight off will help

    Whatever you have done' date=' it is a lifetime decision, so at my age, I'm not looking at just today but 10-15 years from now. We don't know what lies in our future including our health, so I wanted to make sure to include all factors, if possible, that might become a possibility. I wasn't thinking it was a way out, but if some health condition arose, which meant it needed to be reversed it could be, as with the band. Not much can be done though when you are only working with 1/3 of a stomach as is the case with the sleeve. I had a patient who had it bypass done years ago, and the nephrologist I worked for, wanted the patient to have her's reversed. She was having to have Iron infusions and they were becoming more difficult and her kidneys were failing. I am a person who tries to weigh all positive and negative, ifs and what ifs, in case something might happen that could require reversal. Plus if any doctor would reverse it just because a patient wanted it reversed, then they need their license pulled. Ultimately the decision and how it made is up to that individual though.[/quote']

    Heck I thought they were all non reversible so well the sleeve n rny but I just see so many people having to get revised to rny from others so im like do it right the first time!!

    With such a small group' date=' it's hard to draw any conclusions. At the larger center I went to, the pre-op classes might have 50 people so there was a lot of diversity.

    Wishing you smooth sailing ahead![/quote']

    Yes it was a small group they do a couple classes a day so an I get all the support n info from here I love this forum I was telling g the ladies at the class bout it an that they have one for the sleeve!!

    So I went to my pre op class today there wad four other woman in there with me 1 was getting the band an the other 3 the sleeve I was the only one getting RNY I felt a Lil weird but I told them I look in to them an to me the worst is the band an there's not enough results on the sleeve that I felt I was making the right choice one lady said her friend had sleeve was doing great n she had one who did RNY an was having nothing but problems :( I still feel that rny is best choice but it was just a Lil Discouraging
