Hi,
I'm new here and this is my first post. I had rny on 10/27/2025. Things are kinda going ok, but I'm still tired and suspect my blood pressure is off. I was 300 lbs for over 10 years and it was *very* difficult to find a provider who would refer me for surgery. I am pleased with my surgery and look forward to getting to know you all.
 
Welcome! I'm glad you found your way here and decided to introduce yourself.

Congratulations on your surgery and your progress so far. You've lost 125 pounds since surgery, that's a tremendous accomplishment and reflects a lot of hard work and perseverance! It also sounds like you had to overcome a few obstacles just to get approved and referred for surgery, so it's great to hear that you're pleased with your decision.

As for the fatigue and blood pressure concerns, those are definitely worth discussing with your medical team. Significant weight loss can sometimes mean medication adjustments are needed, and it's always better to have those symptoms checked out rather than assume they're just part of the process.

This journey has its ups and downs, but you're among people who understand what it's like. Looking forward to hearing more about your experience and celebrating your continued success!
