Before & After RNY with dirks34!
November 24, 2015Celebrating dirks34's RNY Journey!
Courage to take a big leap of faith has given me the confidence to reform my health, self esteem and dreams.
My journey started with a wish. A wish to improve my health and do whatever I could to prolong my life in order to spend more time with my husband and see my kids and grandkids grow up. Well after much determination, I have done what I could to make this a reality.

Weight Loss Total: 155 lbs
Surgery Type: RNY (10/30/12)
Bariatric Surgeon: Dr. S Karmali
It has been a real learning curve to determine what I can eat and how much. I can say that my experience with RNY has been a positive experience with few complications thankfully. And although I am at the weight my body has determined it wants to be at, it still is a daily effort. It has been a great tool to reach my weight loss goal.
I no longer need medication for blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol! I can hike, ski and skate because my knees no longer hurt. It has given my new dreams of achieving goals and boosted my confidence to achieve them. The best part was watching people's reaction when they saw me after losing 100 lbs. The healthy me is here again!
