Spouse Stress Over
Thanks for your support, my husband has come through his RNY surgery with flying colours so far, he says his pain is a 2-3, he's chewing on ice cubes and feeling great so far. Certainly looks a lot better than I did just out of recovery, lol.
Brian was high risk due to his chronic kidney disease caused by his diabetes. Of course he needs to lose some weight also but only about 45 pounds after finishing Opti-fast.
This surgery should give him another 10 years without dialysis ( we hope).
Our new lives start now.!!!!!!!!!!!
Again, Thank you
Laurie
Surgery: June 11, 2012--Dr. Starr--Humber
