I got it 9 months ago, but that is a major concern on my part, aging with RNY. I am only 38 and I dont want to age having all those issues related yo rny plus the one we get as we get older.

Hi Mgsisco,

I do not want to scare you as i said this surgery RNY has been around for many many years. However, my friend who had the RNY first about 22 years ago had to get all her teeth pulled out and got veneers..When she refinanced her home for 30,000 i was floored..i guess either she didnt take her vitamins, too much malabsorbtion, and she threw up alot...the second is my cousin who had it done about 19 years ago also loss a tooth when she bit into an apple (she got a bridge) and as of today she still gets iron transfusions...im thinking now ( i never heard her say she is taking vitamins) . And most people back then that i have met online at doctors offices in groups seemed to all have had their gallbladders removed..

again this is the people who had surgery way back when.. i think you will be fine.. i normally get my annual dental check up but with this surgery i already made my appt and will be following my exams closely and of course get my blood work done more frequently.. and read read read and ask questions and follow all the rules and we will be ok...

Good Luck! are you looking into revision or RNY..?

Can you share about what kind of bad experiences have your friends and family had that got the rny done 20-25 years ago?
