I wanted to say hello out there to all my sisters and brothers! I am from Ontario and had RNY 2 1/2 years ago and wanted to journey along with you all. And of course pick up some valuable info, tips, recipes, and read others experiences and perhaps share some of mine. I was 325 Post OP, CW - 145 lbs = 180 lbs lost.
Nice to meet you!

Well, let me tell you it has been quite the journey. Seems for me the weight flew off within the year, which is great. Couldn't be happier about that (minus the excess skin). It is the complications/side effects that I have had that make me question everything and if only I could have lost the weight through dieting I would not have brought this all upon myself (and my family). I have had 6 additional surgeries since my RNY and 5 out of 6 of them are due to the RNY.
