Well, made it through the wait period. Tomorrow, early, is my RNY (and band removal).

Am I well prepared? I don’t really know but the words Water, Protein and Vitamins are floating around, and the rest will come as it comes.

Thanks to you all, your knowledge sharing is a God-send.

See you on the shrinking side...

bahahahaa! This tickled me: "the words water, protein, and vitamins are floating around..." You're gonna do swimmingly! Can't wait for a report.

Wow...I had the band as well, but mine was removed in April. My RNY is next Thurs. Please let me know how your recovery is going.

So far, 27 hours after the op was finished, I am doing well. 4 Small walks down the corridor, up to clean teeth etc. seriously, not nearly as bad as I expected.

Feel a bit like I have had a kick in the chest, deep breathing hurst - from the rib spreader during the op. My op was open - that dull ache is the result, but on the other hand I have no ‘air’ pain. I had that after laparoscopic band placement.

Only 4 days til I get out!
