hello geni..
I am 6 months post op open RNY. I have lost 80 pounds so far. I used to be on 8 asthma drugs and 4 shots of insulin a day. I am off of all these things. I have sleep apnea, I am going to take another sleep study in April, my surgeon feels I can get off my CPAP machine as well..
I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have as a pre-op, my email is ramona@ktc.com I wish you the very best..
The best post op advice,,start deep breathing and deep coughing and wiggling your feet as soon as you physically able. That way you are protected from pneumonia and from thowing a clot to your lungs better known as a P.E. move those limbs while lying in bed..
take care,,
