who else here is an old timer? i had surgery 7 years ago

Hi, I am also 7 years out rny

I'm still kicking around Haven't logged into FB in almost a year LOL Don't post much here any longer but still check in now and then in case I can add anything.

I had my RNY 11 years ago and have regained 40 of the 100 pounds I originally lost! Needless to say that I am not happy about it and now that I'm retired I figure it's time to get serious about doing something about it. I've also had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction 18 months ago and enjoying life as a "flatty"...Marlene

Hi Monica! I'm not from Ontario and don't always make it over here. Just wanted to let you know that there are many long term OH members over on the main boards. We're all over the place over there and we'd love to have you (and anyone else who is interested) come over a join us.

Was meaning to post the link but looks like I need to go back and grab it again. Don't be a stranger! =)


Edited to add these links. Lots of us that hang out over there in general are many years post-op. I'll be 10 years out in December myself. I can't say strongly enough how much being around other WLS postops has contributed to my success and others feel the same. Come and have a look if you're inclined. It might even open up some new sources of info for you.

Also want to note that this board (Ontario)has just as many good ideas and experiences; sometimes though it helps to look through unfamiliar territory. If only to see the expanse of different experiences.
