Hi Md Board
Whom ever said that people who have WLS are taking the easy way out, have never had this experience. This is a journey and a major challenge. Step by step I am striving to make it as a loser!!

Hey Pennie:
Welcome to the MD board. I had lap RNY with Dr. Kligman at University of MD in Baltimore 14 months ago. So far I am down about 135 lbs and have another 24 to go to meet my goal. Let me know if I can help you with any questions that you may have.

I am 5 plus years post-op. I had open RNY in March 2004 with Dr Sofronski (Delmarva Bariatrics) in Salisbury. At the time I had my RNY I was only patient #125 or so in Dr S's practice. He's gone on to expand his practice tremendously and concentrate more on banding rather than RNY. He runs a tight ship in terms of support group / excercise and post op care. I live in the Annapolis area, but it was definitely worth it for me to travel to Salisbury for him when I did.
Best wishes on your journey!
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
