    bonvivant57 got a reaction from Glen Dean in Loneliness   
    Hello,
    Your feelings are certainly understandable given what you have been through. However, you have taken a huge first step by getting out of an unhealthy relationship. Now its time to start taking care of yourself by doing the things that will help you heal and get healthy. For me that meant resuming relationships with friends and family, working with a trainer and doing some volunteer work. It takes time but believe it or not you are already on the road to a healthier, happier you. Best of luck.
    Shalom.

    Greetings,
    If you have true, biopsy proven Barrett's esophagus I would be VERY concerned about having VSG. The risks of RNY with a good surgeon are similar to have your gallbladder removed.
    Best of luck.

    Alt,
    Sorry to hear about your "issue".
    I almost wound up in the ER with the same problem.
    Please do yourself a favor, pound the Water, start on Miralax (one dose/day) and Coalce (2-3/day).
    That was the regimen that my surgeon recommended and saved my life.
    Feel better.

    Greetings,
    I had RNY on 9/6. When I went for my first post op visit I had GAINED 8lbs. I asked the surgeon if he did a sham surgery! A week later I was down 15 lbs and have never looked back. Get in your fluids, Protein, and Vitamins and good things will happen. Best of luck.

    Hi!
    61 years young. I had RNY 9/6 with no problem.
    Rather than age its important to consider comorbidities such as DM, HTN, etc.
    The good news is these tend to resolve after weight loss.
    Go for it... it will be a life saver.
