Hey guys I'm 25, I had my Lap RNY on 11/26/07 with Dr. Andrei.  From then ive had my ups and downs, gallbladder removal, 2 open lap's this year alone.  I had a rough time, but I went from 250 at my highest to 103 at my lowest (and sickest).  I basically lived at St. Barnabas for about 3 weeks at one point in September 2009.  

I'm now 130lbs, size 4 & loving it.  My life has done a complete 180, thanks to Dr. Andrei. He has been there every step of the way and what he couldnt do, he always had someone there who knew what they were talking about, heck even  Dr. Chamberlain, chief of surgery at st. barnabas, was by my side during my last and final surgery.  Andrei's office staff is amazing and I'm now an outgoing, happy 25 yr old girl living my life.  

I have some pics in my profile and i'm looking forward to talking to more people on here.

highest (night before surgery), lowest(sickest at bffs bridal shower) & now full body and head shot.
