Hello! I just arrived home after my RNY. As soon as I walked in the door I realized I am going to see support and someone to ask questions of. I found this site. A little about me. In 2010 at 275 lbs I underwent surgery for the Lap Band. After just over a year it had eroded and was removed. I had lost 85 lbs and felt great. I was discouraged about having it removed but felt like it was a good tool and I had learned a lot. I never wanted to procedure with a more permanent gastric surgery. After 8 month I had gained 30 lbs back. Discouraged I proceeded to get approved for the Gastric RNY surgery. Surgery was just days ago on August 21st. I feel good as long as I manage my pain. I am just hoping to make some connections with others goign through the same thing. I have told only my husband and a good friend about my surgery. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone!
