Approved for RNY!!



Recommended Posts

Well to all of you who knew me as "BrandyII" as well as the current "Nanook" I have finally been approved for my RNY surgery.

I wish all of you continued success with your lap bands and those that haven't had success and revised to sleeves or RNY or DS I wish all you all continued success also.

This was the first forum I've ever joined and have made some good friends and learned a lot about everything from issues with the band to some things I can't even say out loud in the powder room! I'll probably keep a lurkin' as I doubt even if Alex does make a "revision" or "RNY" forum I'd go there as this was my home for such a long time. Anyway just want to say thanks for all your support you all have been fun! Thanks Nancy.:frown:

OH!

You're Brandy II???

My Gosh, I didn't realize that! I've only known you as nanook....But i remember you very well from last year as BrandyII. When I first came on this forum last year and created a bit of a firestorm when i related my really nasty experience with the band, you were one of a handful of people that were very kind to me, and I very much appreciated that.....Nice to know you're here! :wub:

Headhunter,

Your post made me laugh! I'm still BrandyII on most forums but I left this one after some "drama" and when I came back it wouldn't accept my old screen name and came back with a new one. I remember your drama quite well too but at least we're all doing well now and are healthier! Take care Nancy.:wub:

Nanook Congrats and good luck. You know you can still post. You don't have to lurk. their are others who have had revisions of all types and they still post. I think the info from ya'll is very useful. It might help someones else who might be needing a revision or might have symptoms that they don't realize are problems until they read ya'lls post. So keep us posted.:redface: lol

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
