Tomorrow's the day!

Hi. New member here. RNY tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to communicating with you all over the next few weeks and months. Thanks to whoever came up with this forum!

Welcome, it’s a great forum! Good luck with your surgery, wishing you quick healing.

Thanks for the kind words. Fingers crossed...

You'll be fine. You're joining thousands of people who've had RYGB surgery for the last 50 years. The technique is so perfect now, it's hard to imagine they could improve it, but they do manage to keep improving! You'll be so glad when it's all over and a few weeks have passed, and that doesn't even refer to the weight loss you'll notice as it melts off. Follow your doctor and nutritionist's orders and you'll change your life.

Thank you! Reading your post before I leave for surgery centers me.

Hi Everybody: To all of you who welcomed me, Thank You! Your kind words of encouragement really make a difference. Well, my RNY was two days ago and, is it ok to say I feel fantastic? I was prepared for all the nausea and pain the Dr office said was common. But, so far, it's been ok. I feel "pulling" at the incisions and still have a gas bubble in my upper right shoulder but, overall, much better than I was prepared for. I'm committed to every step of this long haul so, I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for welcoming me.

Welcome to our group, and to your new healthier life. You've already faced lots of challenges by making the decision to have WLS, which shows you & everyone else just how courageous you are. I can't wait to hear how you do and feel as your journey progresses. Congrats!!!

I always love to see someone having an easy time post op. I was SO worried and I only needed pain meds for 24hrs. Then my husband had the sleeve, expecting an easy time and had to take pain meds and anti nausea meds for weeks.

Keep us updated and let us know of you have any ??s as your new food phases kick in!
