Featuring: Robin Tracy
OH Username: pa_guy
Surgery Type: RNY
Weight lost: 115 pounds
Surgeon: Ehab Akkary, MD
It was rough in the beginning trying to get this journey kicked off. It seemed like one speed bump after another. Then I finally found the right surgeon for me and I think that is primarily why it took so long. It just had to be the right doctor, then the time was right.
I was overweight and felt like crap most of the time. I had type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, the whole nine yards and was taking a hand full of meds daily. I had my surgery on May 13th 2013. Eight months later, I feel great and am extremely glad that I had the RNY. I've lost not only the extra weight, but diabetes and high blood pressure as well. No more pills! I get my protein in and take vitamins, cal and B-12.
I feel much better for sure. I have been asked often, "Are you glad you had it done and would you recommend it to someone that's in need of it?" I say yes I am and I would. If the persons health allows it and they are serious about it, they should go for it. In my case, the pros out weighed the cons.
