June 23rd RNY in Houston..... anyone else?



Recommended Posts

The date is finally approaching. Part of me feels like it has taken forever and part of me feels like it is flying. I have mixed emotions. The liquid diet isnt bad, a 2 week one for me. Mine is scheduled in Houston for 6/23. Its about a 2 hour drive from me so I am contemplating staying the night before because the drive in would be nerve-racking lol. Too long to think. I have done this before with a different surgeon in 2012 I had the sleeve done. It went well for 7 months and then problems. My current surgeon explains that the blood vessels and nerves were not separated correctly and I also have a dilation on an improper staple line on my upper sleeve and terrible acid and bile reflux. Guess I should have been concerned the first time when there was no leak testing or any other testing done after surgery to make sure the surgery was healing properly. Well that is in the past and there is nothing i can do to change it so i must move forward and concentrate on the present and future. I am nervous to have the RNY because my previous surgeon talked me out of it and into the sleeve. Maybe that should have been a red flag. Basically he scared me out of it. Long story short, I am excited to get the reflux of bile and acid corrected and have additional weight loss finally but so scared. My current and amazing surgeon who has walked me through all the testing and questions has been wonderful to subside my fears and correct misinformation I received before. Anyone else have the same date or location?

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
