July 22, 2014 here! I am down 80 lbs and still losing a little bit - just a pound here & there. I feel great, better than I have in years. I was really hesitant about doing this but with so many comorbidities, it was just the best way to help. I have gone from a size 20 to a size 12 and really enjoy shopping in the regular size clothes rather than the women's larger sizes. Best part? I will not be the overweight mother at my daughter's wedding this Saturday! Loving life!

I had the gastric sleeve done 5 years ago and am now having the RNY revision done on 7/22. I wish I had done the RNY the frst time, but I was terrified of the surgery and thought it might be too drastic. I di lose about 40 pounds, but it crept right back on after 4 major surgeries and now I am back where I started. I am still worried about the RNY but this time I will go through with it. It has to be better than carrying all this weight around, especially with the peripheral neuropathy of my feet.

I had surgery on the 22nd and was supposed to go home on the 25th, but I developed a fever that wouldn't go away. They thought I had a leak in the bypass and I ended up in the hospital for 8 days. Bummer. But so far things are going well.

I had my RNY on July 22nd. It was a rough start and I ended in the hospital for 8 days fighting fevers and a possible leak. Home now, and doing pretty good. I am down 20 pounds so far and have just started the pureed foods stage of the diet. My biggest problem is the constant tiredness - I go to work for 4 hours (I am an admin) and then come home and take a 2 hour nap! From what I am seeing in the posts, this sounds like a lack of B-12 - guess it's time to get that shot.

Well, the has finally come that I have both dreaded & welcomed. My surgery is tomorrow, the 22nd and I am a nervous wreck!! I want this, but am so afraid of all the complications that could arise. I keep thinking this should be easy since this is the second go around for me, but the sleeve wasn't as drastic and the RNY. I've seen so many success stories on here and I know the support is fantastic, but I am still apprehensive. I just hope I can keep it together at the hospital tomorrow and not break down. Thank goodness the hubby will be their to hold my hand. Okay, guess I will see everyone on the other side!
