Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Hello! I hope that you dont mind me posting here but im really interested in people that have had rny that have been out a year or more from surgery.I am 5'5 and weigh 245.Im planning on having open rny with Dr.Cauruna in Buffalo NY. Im doing my best to quit smoking but for some reason its harder to quit then it was to start but ill do it. Im 27 and most of my fat is in my butt and upper thighs,my tummy isnt to bad its a little saggy but workable.Im concerned about the scar from rny,I get horrible keloid scars and im curious as to what has helped those of you with this problem.I also would like to know how long after surgery you were able to exercise...not that im a big exercise buff but I would like to try water aerobics.Also eating,giving up sugar isnt going to totally kill me because im not a big sugar person as it is but cereal...can you eat cereal as long as you dont drink the milk after? How many of you have had to have revisions or problems after surgery? I dont do well with surgery in general! Had my gullbladder out and thought I was going to die from the pain after...my fault though I found out it was bad when I was 7 months pregnant and waited until she was a month old before I had surgery. Any advise that you could give would be appreciated. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 One thing those of you who are subscribed to the list, but are not officially 1-yr. post-op might consider, is emailing privately some of the people you see on here who seem knowledgeable about a topic that interests you. Most of the time they won't mind, and it will be within the rules of 'the game' (I think!) If someone doesn't want you to email them privately, they can either let you know in an email or ignore you...but I suspect you'll get a friendly, informative response. Meanwhile, don't feel insulted. Many of us made the same mistake you did at sometime in the past and we're part of the gang now. Good luck!!
