Its my 2 year surgiversary today



Recommended Posts

Its was two years ago today that I had RNY surgery. Kudos to Dr. George Ferzli who saved my life. After signing up and looking at some of the threads here, I recall what life was like before that day. As my memories of life before surgury start fading, taking time to recall and share my experiences is a worthwile thing to do. In my partuclar case, it was the best decision I ever made.

Good luck in your journey,

Bob

What an inspiration you are to all of us! I have about two weeks to go until mine, and I'm so ready to be on the healing side. Keep up the great work, and congratulations!

He is the consummate professional. I would recommend him to anyone considering bariatric surgery.

The two weeks leading to the surgery were important to me. My two cents would be to stick to the pre op diet religiously, since it will shrink you liver, making the procedure easier for the surgeon. Good luck, and see you on the other side.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
