Hi there,
It is normal to be getting really scared right now......in other words IT'S OKAY, IT WILL BE ALRIGHT. I am almost 3 weeks post-op from open rny, and I feel great! Of course I was nervous going in, of course shortly afterwards you are thinking "what have I decided to do to myself", but today I have no regrets. I am only down 20 lbs so far, but I feel wonderful and would do it all over again. Good luck to you for a complication free surgery and speedy recovery! See you on the losing side. God Bless!!
