I came to this site in 2004 ready for a new life. I had an rny in 2005 and then in 2010 a small bowel resection due to a twisted bowel. I also had a hernia repair in 2010 post emergency bowel resection. I am still at goal today due to change in lifestyle and absolute refusal to go back. I did seek treatment over the years when bouts of disordered eating crept back. I am here to support and continue my journey.
