one year ago on 8/27 i had my RNY.  It has been a wild ride but i have enjoyed the end result as of today my weight is 225lbs....i am down 126lbs since surgery and I love it...it is still hard for me to get enough calories so i eat small meals about every 2 hours like my friend who is diabetic and it works out perfectly...though the last couple weeks i have been throwing up the slime and i sure that is from not chewing my food well or drinking a tad bit before the 30min..I feel so blessed and i have been formally put back on the kidney transplant list..idk where i stand but it to me had work to get there and stay..

It's been a while since i last posted, but here i am 9 months post op with a weight of 242 lbs.  I am quite please with the rate i am losing, not as fast as some but anywho....im loving this 242 lb me. i can do things i havent done in years. i didnt think i was a sugar dumper but boy was i wrong.. i ate one to many bites of my mom's mother's day cake and that was all she wrote, sweating, sliming, rapid heart beat and even dizziness. needless to say i will not be eating cake anytime soon.  anyway tootles.. I love my RNY.

Boy oh boy what a ride....remember the ulcer well I thank god for them...the ultra sound found a cyst on my kidney so he orders me a abdominal CT scan.  While looking at the kidney, the scan saw a cyst which was secondary as to what was found in the bottom of my left lung, so the did another ct of my upper chest and it was confirmed that I had PE, blood clots.  I was rushed to ED, then to vascular, where I received a Vena Cava filter.  They had my head spinning...I had no symthoms  my surgeon, ed folks, and vascular people were shock to see me walking... I thank God for looking after me

Today I feel pretty good, this week was very touchy for me.  My pouch rebelled on me last week and i had the worst bout of trapped gas, it hurt so bad i went to see my rny surgeon to make sure all was well in the tummy area, he ruled out gall bladder issues and bowel obstruction, so im happy abt that, so it took all week  before it totally moved out the body th6anks to phazyme, gasx, and milk of mag, cnt figure out what the heck could have brought that on but i want to avoid it again at all cost. oyeah i had my 3 month postop followup, everything went well that was on 11/24 weigh on that visit was 292, weighed myself this morning down to 281.6 woohoo! im happy.
