Wish I could tell you all went well, but when I got to the office my appointment last 5 minutes. If I don't hear from her in a few weeks to call the office. Was not happy but will get over it. January will be a year since plastics. May will be 5 years since RNY.

The saying everyone is different is raining in my head. I am 4 1/2 yr post op RNY, but I am also 19 1/2 yr sober. I had lost a lot of weight before in 1986 I went down to 164lbs but I started to go out and have 'fun' because I looked so good. I remember how the weight came back on 2 fold because I changed from drinking to eating and at my highest weight before surgery was 334 lbs. Since I was 15 yrs sober at the time the thought of drinking is so not there, but it could be. My surgeon was concerned of my addictive behavior. Haven't had chocolate since 1986. Don't compare. Remember 1 drink to an RNY patient is really drinking 5 it hits us harder. Be careful.

When they removed the skin and them sewed me back together I have 2 lumps that stick out my Dr will clip them to flatten me out. There called ears

My cat walks across my stomach he has no idea that I can't feel it , which maybe is a good thing. Thanks for the reply

Just joined and I read your post. How are you feeling today? It will get better. The wanting to chew is strong. I'm 4 yrs out head hunger NEVER goes away.

On Tuesday my plastic surgeon will be clipping my dog ears. The closing of each side of my scars stick out. Has anyone else had this done? I'm driving and she is an hour away. I'm 10 months out. Also will the feeling ever come back.
