    My insurance never approved me. I had to take money out of my retirement but to me it was worth it.

    I had surgery June 4. I told some family and close friends about my decision. I haven’t told many others. They just see me losing weight. Surround yourself with people who support you. You know what is best for your body.

    I had my surgery less then 24 hours ago, intact I am writing this in the hospital, after surgery the pain is unbearable, I am dry heaving everything with a little bit of throw up. Walking to move the air out is unbearable, I know it’s temporary but this is the worst pain I have ever been in, and I have had 4 C-sections. My doctors are great, and did remind me that I will be going home with hella water retention. So weight loss may not show right away. Currently I am staying strong though.

    Im 2 months out also. I weigh in weekly. The first month I lost 4-5 pounds a week. Now averaging 2-3 a week.

    I had RNY on June 4 and I’m feeling pretty good. I still have some pain because I was cut deeper than usual due to a previous surgery in the same area. I am down 41 pounds. And am just taking it one day at a time.

    Glad I’m not alone. I guess we just have to just keep trying.
