It’s been more than 6 years since I had my Roux-en-Y (RnY) Weight Loss Surgery. How time flies when you’re having fun! 
. Anyway, I was going through some of my old documents and discovered my weekly journal that I wrote for the 1st month after my surgery. It’s a great micro look at the days just after surgery. I’m sharing here so that others might gain some perspective as they approach their own surgery and as a reminder to those that are already post operative.
I got my call at the beginning of August, 2005 – 6 years ago. Surgery took place 2 weeks later. No air-conditioning in the hospital and it was hot. Spent 3 days there before being allowed to go home. I was one of the last planned “open” RnY surgeries that Dr Amson did here in Victoria BC. He switched fully to laproscopic after my surgery unless there was some sort of specific need that prevented WLS from being laproscopically used.
So lets take a look at how those 1st few week went!
