I will love to pair up with someone from my city, it's good to have a friend or someone who's going or gone thru this surgery!!! Guidance

Hello to you. I am in New York City and have to go for RNY, not only to lose weight but because I have a medical condition that requires it. I am so petrified due to the pureed foods, no eating and drinking and the dumping syndrome, etc.

If I may add that you look wonderful in your pictures and good for you....

Also don't worry everything is going to b fine we all go thru terrifying moments in our lives but us humans tend to find it weird when there is change. Also if it's for ur health go for it because the best thing is to b healthy

I have already had surgery before in that area and now they have to convert it to a gastric bypass because of the complications that I received. I have a stricture as well as many years of scar tissue that makes it virtually impossible and quite painful for things to go down.

My anxiety is out of control and I just feel hopeless. I still am able to eat sugar (not in great amounts) as well as eat and drink to push food down. I don't want to give that up and I think that this surgery would make it worse.

I am so glad to have someone from New York City (actually I live in the Bronx) to talk to and not feel so alone in this journey of a lifetime! Literally. I think that I am going to start attending the support groups beforehand so that I can see other people's approach and words of wisdom to get me through it.

Thank you so much.
