Hi, I'm new to your group & was wondering if this is for any type of bypass surgery or just the ones listed? I had RNY back in 2003 & I would love to be a part of your group. Thanks!

Hi! Many of us are RNYers. There are forums for sleevers, banders, etc., but you are in the right place for rny support!

Thanks so much!

Welcome to the forum...It is for everyone who needs support for any WLS. Questions ask away! We need your input as much as you may need our help.

Welcome! Lots of people that have had RNY. Look at the surgery forums for the one on RNY.

Wecome! I am a fairly new newbie too .... and will be having RNY in August 2014 ..... so it will be nice to have another bypasser to share their story

Hi Christy, I see from ur name your in AZ, so am I. Where are you having your surgery done? When are you having it done? I had mine done at St Luke's Hospital in 2003. I originally lost 200 lbs & have been able to keep the weight off. I recently started loosing weight again (not sure why & going to drs to get checked, but I've lost another 20 lbs) I've gone from a sizzle 30 1/2 dress to a 12 at last check may be smaller now.

I've had a few issues crop up they had to move my bile duct connection & I also had a twist in my intestines. I have a B-12 deficiency so I get shots 2x a month & I may need to get IV iron now also but these things were not something that would ever have stopped me from getting the surgery.

It's a def life change, it's not something to go into thinking it's easy it's a lifetime commitment. If I can answer any questions or you just need someone to talk to I'm here for ya!

Best wishes on your surgery!

Hugs,

Stacey
