Hi my name is Heather and I had RNY on 11/18/13. I am looking to connect with other African American women who had RNY. Any takers?

Good Morning. Today is surgery day!! I should be asleep but made the mistake of taking a nap earlier lol. Family and friends are more nervous than I am. I'm ready. I feel with everything in me, that this is the best thing for me.

I agree with jlmckee. You should be fine. Your abdomen will be very tender and using a pillow to hold tightly against it helped me get up and down with more ease...some get abdominal binders for that purpose before leaving the hospital. My mom stayed the night with me the first night home just in case to (it eased her mind), but it was not necessary. Best wishes to you!

Got final final approval. 2/3 it is. Now the real panic starts. :-)

My Date Is Feb 28th

I received my date, it is gonna be 2/10/2014. I have to say one thing about this liquid diet, it is killing me. I hope that everyone else is doing great.

Got my approval for Bypass on 12-30-2013. I meet with the surgeon on the 22nd. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've been a little overwhelmed trying to get everything I need. So glad I found this forum!!
