Hoping to have RNY surgery
Dec 19, 2011
I am a 38 year old, stay at home mom. I have 2 wonderful boys ages 17 1/2 and 13 1/2. I have a great husband. I have been struggling with my weight since I had my first son in 1994. I have tried diet pills, I tried the slim fast diet and I have tired the Special K diet. When I was on these diets I wathced what I ate, walked about a mile a day and only lost 40 lbs. total. No matter how I tried to stick with the diets after losing that 40 lbs. it was impossible for me to lose any more. So I gave up! I have had acid reflux for 11 years now, been on medicine to stop the acid and recently discovered that I have a hernia. I'm hoping to have the RNY surgery to get rid of the acid reflux and hernia. Losing weight will be an added benefit to this surgery. I am 265 lbs. right now, which is exactly 105 over by ideal weight of 160 for my height. I have seen the baratric counselor last wednesday Dec. 14th, and have an appt. tomorrow Dec. 20th with the nutritionist and The doctor. I will be having some test run and be talking to the doctor about the surgery and finding out if I quailify for it.
