New: where do I introduce myself? :-)



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm new and learning my way around the app. Where do I introduce myself?

Maybe I'll just do it here! I'm two weeks out from my RNY and doing pretty well. Always looking for friends and happy with information. I live in Europe, work part time, am married and enjoy my life with Hubs, my dog, and my retired horse.

RNY 14 April 2017

Hi Katriena, welcome. This is as good a place to introduce yourself as any. I'm from Mississippi, married and still working. I had my RNY in November and I'm doing well but still struggling with what to eat. This is a great site and have found a lot of help and support here. I hope you will have the same positive experiences, Drop in on any discussion and you will meet folks.

I too am sort of new. I joined about the time I had a lap band. Did well for a time then began having troubles finding the "Sweet spot". Then breast cancer and had my band deflated for fear of vomiting. I have been pretty discouraged and talked with my PCP who felt I had done as well as I can expect with the band. I have lost and gained the same 20 pounds now for months. We discussed the bypass and I am waiting to see if I will be accepted into the program. I am looking to give and get support and learning tip from those who have gone before me.

Welcome Katriena,

I'm fairly new here too. I'm in So. California and looking forward to having a Sleeve surgery in about 4 months or so. This site has been great for tons of support and learning what to expect.

Best wishes for you.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
