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....

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
