Just wanted to put this out there. Does anyone else have this issue? As I am adding more foods to my diet, I am scared of eating. I can tolerate alot of foods now, including chicken, and I'm so afraid of eating too much or that I could break into my old habits again. I'm 9 weeks out and just...

Hi Everyone. I must say I'm home and feeling fairly good. My experience with Roux-N-Y was the worst on day 2. I had dry heaves for 14 hours straight. I literally wanted to die I was so miserable. The were giving me nausea medicine as often as possible but nothing would stop it. It was...
