Feeling better since revision.
Oct 17, 2012
I had a revision to my RNY this past Monday due to a bleeding ulcer. I have been in the hospital for 3 weeks prior to having my revision. I have been on protein, lipids, and sugars through a bag which goes through my IV. I'm feeling 100 X's better since the removal of the ulcer. I still have pain at the sight of my incisions but it is nothing compared to the pain I had every time that I tried to eat or drink anything with the ulcer whcih was in my Roux limb. I want to thank god and Drs. Green and Cook at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, MD for doing a wonderful job on my revision.

First time weighing my self since surgery 7 days ago!
Sep 03, 2012
OMG!!! I am so excited I have lost 21 lbs since the morning of surgery, I haven't been this proud of myself in I don't know when. I can really tell a difference in my face I've not tried on any of my old blue jeans yet but I might wednesday when I go to get my staples removed. All my pain has subsided and I'm not having to take my pain pills! I can't wait to see the improvement in my self esteem and my health in the coming months of this wonderful journey. Thank you for all your support!

Surgery went well!
Aug 27, 2012
I had my surgery yesterday and other than being in a little pain, which is held under control with the dilaudid they are giving me, everything is going fine. So far I've only been able to have ice chips but after they do my upper GI today I should be able to have a full liquid diet. I'm not hungry at all I'm just really thirsty, I'm not sure if that is unusual or not. I can't wait to get home to my bed. I've only been nauseous twice which is a good thing, they gave me zofran to get that under control. I would like to thank everyone for their support!

My Surgery is in 2 Days!
Aug 25, 2012
I am so excited that my new life will begin on Monday! I can't believe it, it has all
happened so fast. I already hate the protein shakes, but it's something I'm gonna
have to get used to. I feel so much better by just drinking water, although I have
had some caffeine withdrawls. I am so thankful for everyones support!

Surgery finally scheduled!
Aug 09, 2012
Well today went great I got my surgery date! I feel kind of bad knowing that it only took me 3 weeks from first visit with surgeon to surgery date, knowing that there are other people who aren't as lucky when it comes to insurance issues. My surgery is set for August 27th, which is 10 days after my 21st birthday so I'm going to try and get some partying in before then. Thanks for your support!

About Me
Jul 06, 2012
Hi guys my name is Jeremy, I'm a 20 year old originally from North Carolina. I relocated to Maryland in September of 2011. Like many of you being overweight has controlled my life since I was a child and I'm ready to take back control and kick obesity's butt to the curb. I don't have a date set for surgery yet but I do have my first appointment with my surgeon and dietitian the 25th of this month and I'm so excited. During that appointment they are gonna do all my blood work and I guess I will be scheduled an appointment with their psychologist. From what my surgeons assistant told me the psychologist is the last thing before I get a date scheduled for surgery. Hopefully within the next 3 months I will be starting my new life on the road to skinny!!!
