Hello tricie
I am doing well had the surgery on Wednesday. Was released from the hospital yesterday. I can tell I am going to be successful because I am doing two ounces of liquid an hour and the sight and smell of food is not bothering me at all. I weighed in at 276 and am on liquids for 44 more days..I will weigh in every Wednesday and post my results.

I am so with you. I am at my biggest now... 323pds. It dosen't look bad. I just feel I am tired all the time and my joints hurt. I am in my pre-stages also. I don't know what to expect. I will be 50 in a few years and I want to be healthier than I am now. Can't wait to start this new journey.
I am right there with you. I am very nervous. My doctor is very nice and so is the staff. I am worried that I will experince the medical issues that a friend of mine had when she had the bypass. She had a bowel blockage twice. I don't really think that it will happen to me. She is reconmending me to do the sleeve and not the bypass. But When I spoke to my doctor and he seen all of my issues...He feels that I need the bypass. I have the hole list. Ha,Ha. I have to get off ALL my medications. I only want to be healthy again. I know some people will say I took the easy way out. That is a lie.... I will eat healthier and excerise daily.
I'm not able to come to you but if you want to talk that's what this site is for. Let's start with why are you in the nursing home?
Hi Queen I got my RYN done in 2006 too. Now my doctor said that I can do the RYN over and that will work but what I wanted to know was what made you decide to go with the appollo and will the malabsorption restart and that was one of the things I was going to ask my surgeon about the RYN Distol.... This stuff get confusing sometimes becaise its so many different names now for so many different procedures...ð??©ð??©ð??©

I also want to tell you that having WLS was a good decision for me. When I got the first shot of anesthesia in the pre-op room, and felt the relaxation kick in, I looked up at the clock - it was 7:42am. I thought - 742 is my new lucky number. Although I haven't won the lottery with 742, I am one fortunate person.
You can post on the General Discussion Forum, or on the forum for your type of surgery. You should get a bunch of replies.
Good luck on Thursday!!
