I had RNY 8 weeks ago.  I sure would like some support and friends that have experienced the surgery or will be going through the surgery.  I'm sure I can help to answer questions for the
pre-op's since it is so fresh in my memory and I know I will need support from the ones that have had the surgery.  Hope to hear from you.    Debbie

Ditto to what you said about support and friends.  I need it/them too.  So please add me to your friends.  I had rny on June 5th. 

I had my surgery 10/24. You can add me if you wi****s been a tuff journey but it's almost complete for me 10 more lbs to my goal. Its slow going now but I'm in no rush.

 Just ask your questions!  Most of us try our best to be really helpful!  

I had my rny about 9 weeks ago. I would be happy to be your friend. I would love to have someone to share experiences with.

 Hi:  I'm having my RNY on June 29th and I'm completely petrified.  Having Lapband removed and revising to RNY.  I've seen so many great stories on this site and so many SCARY stories on this site.  I like seeing that you're 8 weeks out...makes me hopeful that I'll be ok too.  Were you incredibly petrified like I am?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer - Please don't be petrified, just be prepared.  Read as much as you can about the surgery and the do's and don'ts.  Most of all listen to your Surgeon and Dietician.  As I am sure you have read, everybody is different.  Just take it nice and slow, listen to your body.  Get your liquids in as much as possible so you don't dehydrate.  Try to get as much protein as possible each day but don't get aggravated if you don't at first, I had to work up to it.  It has taken me 6 weeks to get all protein for the day.  It's important but don't stress about it because you and your body will need time to heal and for you to get use to all of the changes.  I was both scared and excited at the same time.  My doctor made me feel less scared and I was very confident he knew what he was doing.  So relax as much as you possibly can, I know that is easy to say.  Please let me know how the surgery went and may God Bless you!!!           Debbie

 Had my surgery 10/28.. Add me if you would like :) good luck on your journey
