Calling all sharers!

Joanna, I had the LAP RNY in April. I have lost 90 pounds. I had some complications after and had to have OPEN bowel repair 3 days later. I was very sick and wondered at the time WHAT WAS I THINKING. But now almost 8 months later I have to tell you that my life has changed SO drastically. I am a slow loser. I average 10-12 pounds a month with a RNY. I think with a lap-band I would have been a miserable failure. Just cutting down isn't enough for me and that is what the lap-band does. malabsorbtion from the bypass part of RNY is what helps with losing and longer term. If you'd like to read my profile feel free. It goes into things more indepth. I have to say this though..I would do it again tomorrow. My feet don't hurt, my hips and knees don't kill me anymore..I can run up my stairs, play with my kids and feel "sassy" when I dress up. I am less than 50 pds. from goal and life is only going to get better! I pray you make the right decision for YOU. Faith 278.5/188/140
