Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hello All, Even though I do not post often I read in digest form everyday. I am dying to communicate with others who were super obese prior to surgery. I have the need to know what to expect for those of us who were 450 and above before surgery. I have released 190 so far but have stabilized for the past three months to no avail. The only thing different is I have been put on hrt..I do no know if this is the cause. I also have an extremely large incisional hernia that my doctor did not want to repair. I left my medical group and got a second opinion and the new surgeon gave me hope. He did inform me that the repair would more than likely be more painful than the open RNY and that my hospital stay would be 5 to 10 days. I am going to try to lose some more weight and probably do surgery just before the holidays or shortly after. I am so happy that I finally have someone that is willing to help me. This hernia has definitely changed my lifestyle. hard to sleep and get comfortable and exercise is a nightmare...so am glad I finally have the opportunity to have it repaired. I am increasing my protein intake and am hoping to drop more weight. Thank you all for listening, UCD Open RNY UCD Sacramento 470 - 297 hoax info The letter about the aspartame and all is a well known hoax put out on the Internet. Go to www.snopes.com and you will find out about the woman that started it and why... Jan C. 3-11-98 RNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
