Hello...  I'm 53 years old and I had my RNY on August 22, 2002.  I'm so very thankful to my wonderful Doctor for giving me my life back.  When I had my WLS there wasn't a whole lot of support or nutritionists who know we much about RNY or our restrictionsto.  I weighed 425lbs the day of surgery and lost 247lbs, so I got down to 178lbs and I'm 5'10", so I was very happy with the results.  I had polycystic ovarian disease, type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other co-morbidities that are no longer a problem, thank God!  I had to have a hysterectomy in 2005 and gained 75lbs back pretty quickly, I settled for that until 2007 when I started focusing on my health again and was able to get it back off.  I gain and lose, gain and lose 10lbs and have to reel myself in again...  WLS is definitely not a quick fix and I will always have to keep myself in check.  When I start slipping, I got back to the basics.  Anyway, that's my story in a quick nutshell...  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
