Revision to RNY on March 11, 2014

Mar 02, 2014

I am so glad Obesity Help is still here.  I had a check up with a local surgeon and after an endoscopy, found out my stomach was normal sized!  God bless Tricare for approving a revision to an RNY.  God bless Dr Umbach for taking me so soon.  

I am about 6 years post op, I originally lost around 60 lbs with VS but slowly, so slowly, regained all but 20 lbs.  I was at 273 at my last appointment, after 6 days of preop liver shrinking diet, I'm at 267.

I am so lucky to be able to eat solids up until 12 hours before surgery.  Two meals replaced with protein shakes, lean meat and veggies for dinner. Of course lots and lots of water.  

I'm in Las Vegas now with a new lease on life.  Since my original procedure I had a right knee replacement, now my left is almost ready too.  This is going to buy me time, and relieve constant pain.  I also have severe GERD, I can get rid of the massive amount of Nexium I take every day!  I am starting to get excited 😃!
