A big "Thank you" to this board - I've made my decision with your help!



Recommended Posts

After doing a lot of research and consulting with my surgeon, I'm confident committing to moving forward with RNY. However, I wouldn't feel so confident without having been able to do a lot of initial research, and a big part of that was reading these boards and being able to ask questions. Most specifically, what I read here gave me a lot of really good questions for me to discuss with the surgeon, who not only addressed my concerns, but his answers helped me assess whether I was confident moving forward with him as my surgeon (the answer was yes).

I feel really prepared to go into this process (I hope to start the physician-monitored diet in Jan, shooting for surgery a few months later), but it took me a while to get to this point. So, a big THANK YOU to all of you for sharing your stories, ups and downs, and encouragement.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
