Hi ,

Just wanted to let you know that I went through the open rny in January. I had an unbalanced hormone. When I first went to the weight management classes, they did not believe me because they think all overweight people sit and eat. After the classes and tests, the head doctor apologized for not believing me.

Because of diabetes, asthma, a sleep study that showed multiple issues and not reacting to weight-loss medicine, the insurance approved the rny.

The surgeon was very caring. The anesthesiologist was great. Since J.D. had mito, he took all of the precautions. He did not use gas and I was not put under until right before the surgery. I had the open rny with a hernia repair.

The surgery went great. I was in the hospital for 7 days. We are not sure if I have mito since J.D. is considered a "singleton." The extra stay and setback was contributed to a liver disease, porphyria. They get nurses not familiar with complication diseases and also the rny. If you can, make sure someone is with you at the hospital at all times. I think what helped me is getting off of the morphine early and making myself get up. When the nurse had to take the iv out of my hand when it ballooned, I did not want another iv. IV's are easier for the nurses but I got shots instead when I needed them.

After a few weeks, I started to feel better. Drinking all fluids is not the greatest but very important to do until you pouch heals. You will build up to solid foods.

My husband was great. You might want to have you liquids, strainer and medicine crusher ready at home. was great about straining my foods to liquids.

I am 6 months post op and lost about 75 pounds and feel great. Focus on how good you are going to feel and look. When the weight comes off, some of you mito symptoms might improve. I am off of the diabetes medicine and most of the asthma medicine.
