This is a new group I created with the idea of a friend. We can share our accomplishments, pictures, stories anything about of surgeries. Everyone is welcome. Come join us, and share your story and your accomplishments.

PS if you click on the link it will take you to the page, however if you type it you must type all of it with no spaces. I had to display it like this so the whole link would show:

https: / / www. Facebook. com / groups / rnyyoudidit /

You can also post your email and I will send you and invite.

Would you consider making this a secret group instead of closed group instead? Only a handful of people know about my surgery and I would like to stay as private as possible with it with the exception of other wls patients.

I am in the same boat. Very few people know about my surgery except you guys here and my very close family.

Question I keep getting asked. . . ."Why are you doing bypass and not the sleeve?" I'd love to hear everyone else's answers. . .
I am getting the bypass not the sleeve as I have really bad acid reflux. There is evidence to suggest that the sleeve causes/worsens acid reflux. So to me, it's a no brainier. No acid reflux--> rny. Haha

Dr tanner. :-). He is pretty awesome. I don't have a date yet. Insurance just approved me yesterday so now I have to wait for Veronica to call me. She's absolutely horrible. I can't stand her.

I know they have had several complaints on her. I would call her everyday if you don't get anywhere asked to speak to Erin she is the director of the Bariatric center.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
