All roads seem to be pointing towards RNY...

Jul 30, 2011

I have spent so much time online the last week researching NSAIDs after RNY and the dangers of them. I also have researched the DS as the second step to see what the outcomes look like.

I am surprised to see a common theme popping up: those who stopped loosing/gained with just the sleeve and then revised to the full DS have not had promising results or significant weight loss. This is not a good thing! I need the weight off now.

Also, the NSAID issue-there are suppositories available for naproxen so I have an option. But my current treatments for my arthritis seem to be working, so that whole issue may be a moot point.

There is a certain person here who is truly annoying me. She seems to fancy herself as the end all be all informative source, but she comes off as a condescending know-it-all. I am thinking of blocking her comments because she really brings nothing to the conversation except to belittle my opinions and cluck her tongue at my wanting to "butcher" myself with an RNY.

On a positive note, I have a few job interviews for this coming week. I am only interviewing for positions that offer health insurance. I am self-employed/contracted as a grant writer, but that money comes in waaaay after the work is done. So, technically I am employed, but not making any real money. Therefore, I have a slight margin of pickyness when it comes to a second job. Frankly, as long as they aren't physically demanding (long hours on my feet) and I don't need a xanax to get through the day because of stress AND they give me good benefits, then I am taking the job offered!!

I go to my first seminar since making the decision for revision (hehe, I rhymed!) this coming Saturday. I'll probably update after that. I hope to have lots of good news!
