Update
Had open RNY on April 28,2003. I am doing great. I have lost from 237 down to 119. I now wear a size 6 down from a 26-28. I am 5' tall. It is so wonderful to cross my legs,run,snuggle up in a fetal position.ha. I eat lots of protein,fruits,veggies. I do not tolerate sugar well but have learned to cook sugar free. I don't eat fat anymore which is great for me. (Always liked the fat on meat).yuk now!! I drink protein drinks,take vitamins and Folic acid. Couldn't feel better. Wish I had the surgury years ago. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I would encourage anyone out there thinking about it to "Go For It". My life has been a great change!!!
