@@foxhound1214 I'm sorry yes Rochester, NY

I like to plan everything ahead as well.. I am trying to make sure that I have everything that I need as well as be completely prepared for what's to come ( liquids only purée stage etc) I have GERD so I think RNY is my option.

    @@AmysShrinking and @Anilyn I am 64 and have struggled with depression all my life. I'm currently very stable on Cymbalta. My research shows that I should be OK continuing with Cymbalta after surgery - but until I live it, it's hard to believe. Keeping fingers crossed for all of us

    Does anyone know if it is standard to have a drain after RNY bypass. I am sure my surgeon will cover that at preop, but it seems like not every surgeon places a drain. Or maybe not everyone mentions this. Thanks for any heads up. I guess it doesn't matter either way, but I am trying to mentally prepare as well as possible and the thought of a indwelling drain makes me a little more nervous.

    @@cb11 I don't think a JP drain is standard for this surgery.

    Ok, good to hear. I just saw a few post recently where RNY ppl mentioned their jp drains being removed day 2 or at post op 1 week visit and my surgeon never mentioned this.

    My RNY is June 14th, 3 days after my birthday! I'll be on my pre-op diet then but I've been following a similar diet for the past month so it's not such a shock. I can Celebrate next birthday when I'm healthier! I'm freaking out about getting my Protein and Water in post op. But I'm a bit of a planner so the unknown scares me. Nothing else is phasing me. I'm so excited !!

    We are surgery buddies! Mine is also June 14th, also. Exciting, but I'm still nervous.

    In the homestretch now. I can't believe it and it doesn't seem real but in 9 days, I'll be post op! I feel ready but not ready too. WLS class on Tuesday night. Pre Op appts all day on Thursday. I'm working over the weekend of Memorial Day. I'll finalize my organizational stuff next Tuesday and then surgery on Wed. Suddenly I feel like I have a ton to do and time is running out!
