I have had a wild journey as well and its not over yet. I am blessed to have had no complications other than some dumping early on.  I think that was due to me adjusting to chewing, chewing, chewing and taking tiny bites and eating slow!!!  There is quite a learning curb to deal with.  I hope to have a tummy tuck sometime in the next year or so...when my piggy bank gets some money in it!!! (LOL)  I would do this all over again in a heartbeat!  I can enjoy life now and be a participant and not just a spectator!!! 

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

You are welcome! For me it helps me to see that even after having 8 surgeries since my RNY I am doing pretty good. Plus its a way of paying it forward to the newbies.
