Dkmallory-Welcome to the forum and congratulations on deciding to have WLS. How wonderful to be able to live in a RV!!! I sometimes think that's the way to live but my health issues prevent me from considering it as a permanent way of life. How long have you been living in your RV or is this just a temporary adventure?

Thanks for the warm welcomes..I love the RV lifestyle. My husband and I started traveling in 2005 and sold our home in Louisiana about 2 1/2 yrs ago and went fulltime RV'ing. Unfortunatley I lost my husband last month from a freak accident and really thought about NOT having the WLS, but after talking to fmly members and having already had a surgery date scheduled I decided to go thru with it..I'm so glad I did. My complications were that there was so much swelling (dr did a hiatal hernia repair the same time as the bypass) that there was only a pin hole opening to my stomach so I had to go thru 2 endoscopies to stretch the opening of the stomach. All is good now.. I am down 15 lbs as of this morning and return to the dr on Tuesday. I hope to continue the RV lifestyle solo, see the U.S. and meeet tons of ppl and make new friends along the way...
