Introduce Myself

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Phil, I am 50 years old, I had RNY surgery October 2016 and I am fairly new here. Since my surgery I have lost 100 pounds and have exceeded my surgeon's weight loss goal.

I work for the Department of the Army in Warren, Michigan.

Congratulations! The hardest part is changing the way we THINK and cope. That will always be a challenge. I still struggle to continue and get to my goal. But I will NEVER regret having this surgery..it's such a big step and a challenge but wow, imagine if we did NOT try!? Kudos to you!

Hi Phil! Congratulations on your amazing loss! I am 63 and will be having RNY surgery on June 12. I hope to have as good a result as you! :)

Congrats on you having your date for RNY!!! One thing to take with you is some Chap Stick!! Oh the dry lips after the surgery!!!

Wishing you the best of luck!!

Thanks Judy! Little things like that can make such a difference in our comfort level. I appreciate the tip! :)

You are so welcome! Also remember to Sip Sip Sip and Walk Walk Walk after your surgery. And don't worry that you can't get all your water in right away. None of us could!

Hello Au_Contraire. Nice to see your post.
