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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
