Roux en Y was first introduced in the late 60's and then done laprascopically in the early 90's.
Your sister needs therapy.
Just saying it like I see it.

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I am just wondering if anybody has felt this way. I am getting my surgery February 12th so today was my last doctor's visit before the surgery. Well, when I left the office I couldn't help but to break down and start crying. It was just a cocktail of emotions. I was so grateful. I felt lucky. I felt sad for other people who don't have the opportunity that I have been given. I couldn't believe that my vitals were okay. I have fatty liver and basically it would've just got worse if I hadn't opted for this surgery. This surgery is saving my life. I couldn't stop crying when I got in the car. Anybody else gone through this?

Thank you to everyone who answered. I needed to take a break from this whole surgery because it was driving me a bit insane. I'm back and cool as a cucumber and feeling ready for this change.

Are you kidding me? Your husband makes you sacrifice your comfort in order to spend time with him? F*ck that! I'd never. He'd never. We'd never.
They both sound pathetic.

I I don't even know how to start this. I've always been afraid to try new things for fear of failure, so I just stay stagnant wherever I am at. I think this is in part the reason why I have steadily gained weight. After I dropped out of college 5 years ago , I just stopped caring. I once fasted on just Water for a week straight because I wanted to re-set my body. Now I can't even stick to a diet and exercise program, but I know the discipline is somewhere in me. I have Blue Shield of CA and I've gone through my appointments. I am just waiting so I can complete a year at work and qualify for FMLA. Where my negativity comes into play is now I'm getting worried because I keep playing all these scenarios in my head. What if the insurance doesn't approve me? What if they find something wrong with me once they're doing the procedure and I wake up still with no WLS? I think I need a therapist but I'm not sure. Then I think about how good I'll feel and look once I get it done. I'm 5'1 and weight 270, I need to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks to those who read this.
