Finally...... RNY Surgery Set !



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum and still trying to navigate my way around the site! My name is Mary, I am 32 from Va. I have finally decided to take the plunge! My surgery date is set for March 13, 2013 !!! I have less than 4 weeks to go! I am very excited and can't wait to transform my life to a better healthier one. I have struggled with being obese since about 6 months after my first son was born back in 1998! I have been trying relentlessly to get thinner but it just seems like the weight wont budge... On top of that I have had pseudotumor cerebri (IIH) for over 4 years now and hopefully ahen I loose the weight I will loose that too!

LilBoo007, welcome! I love this site and go to it for inspiration when I get frustrated. I started my journey to RNY back in July and had to meet all insurance requirements. Finally done and my paperwork will be submitted so insurance on Monday. Congratulations on your choice to have surgery and change your life.

Hoping all goes well for us both. Just gets a bit scary when the hospital calls for a pre registration and one of questions is do you have a living will. I know its standard questions for them tho.

Good luck penny!!! I haven't had the hospital call me yet, on Wed. I will start my pre-op diet. My coordinator was sick last week but said she would call me first thing tomorrow morning and go over everything with me! I can't wait! It hasn't really sunk in yet, I think once she calls and the ball continues to roll it will be more real to me!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
