I had RNY surgery Jan 24 2008 and have not had the first problem. Yes ther was quite a bit. I would do it again. Best decision I ever made. I was 268 before surgery and am 205 now. So I guess I am doing good. The most important thing I found is take it slow, don't rush into eating. Stay on your liquid diet especially the first week, I was put on clear liquids the first week and full liquids the second, and that is just what I did. I think a lot of people try to got to fast and that is why they have problems, Everytime I try something new I only have a little at first and then wait and see how it sets, if it doesn't feel just right I don't eat anymore and go to something else.
Like I tried to drink isopure protien water when I got home, but one sip gave me that sick feeling so I did not try it again till I was six weeks out, the same thing happened, so I tried it again last week and It was ok. For me it is just too sweet tasting and anything that tastes sweet does not sit well with me, and I like that. So if you are going to have this surgery just be prepared to follow the plan and not to rush it. Be sure you are willing to take your vitamins and protien and do what is necessary to keep you from developing other serious problems. Bernadette

Hi all Georgians! My name is Toi (like toy), I live as far south east as you can go in GA, in a little town called St. Marys. I love it here. I have not had the surgery yet, but have my initial consultation scheduled for May 16th. I am very excited to get started on this journey for a healthier life. My hubby is in the Navy and lucky enough that I qualify for the surgery based on my weight and high blood pressure. I am leaning toward the gastric bypass surgery, but nothing is set in stone yet.
I look forward to chatting and reading more, and more, and more. ~ Toi ~

dr angstat in savannah did my lapband. I have no complaints about my surgery i lonely see his pa since the surgery.the last couple of trips i was not to happy with the pa. I have been at a stand still since nov.2008 had a fill in december. Still no weight loss some gain because i had to go back on my meds for my sugar. I guess maybe it me. But as a dr he is good and dr whipple is in with him and he is a good dr. Wish there was a support group closer to me than savannah. It is a 75 mile trip one way. Good luck.
