I had my lap RNY.  And I was able to have my 3 month f/u appointment today.  For several weeks I stalled because of a complication that required a 2nd surgery, and afterwards I was not able to exercise for a while (it's all in my blog).  For weeks I felt sure I was the only RNY patient who would come out heavier than when she started!  But WOW was I wrong - it's happening!  I am down a total of 68.8 # since January 6th (I lost 19 in the 2 months pre-op following my group's plan).  And as of today I have lost 40% of my excess weight! I am digging out the size 18-20 clothes from the back of the closet - not for the mission, but because they fit! :)  What an amazing journey this has been, quick and amazing! Thanks for all of the information and support to my OH friends!

Congrats Caryn! You are doing and looking great!   Keep up the good work and you will be donating those "back of the closet" clothes to the mission in no time.   But not because they are too small, but because they are way too big!   :-)
