MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
On the veins issue, I have been going to a vein clinic after have my varicose ones removed... I told the doctor I was planning on GBS... she told me to be prepared... that my veins will get worse (more notable) with weight loss. She said my fat is hiding a lot now... great not only will I have sagging skin but i will be riddled with blue veins... if only I had the "blue blood" to go with it ... LOL!
