I went for my 6 week check up yesterday 9/28/99.

I just found out that I had neither the Distal nor the Proximal RNY Gastric Bypass. I had just a simple Gastric Bypass. I had no intestines bypassed. He told me though that I was way ahead of schedule on my weight loss, and it's all attributed to just eating less. He did however tell me that my stomach was completely divided in 2 sections and that the lower part is still intact doing its job aiding in digestion. Will I be less successful in losing weight since I do not have any intestines bypassed, and how then do I still suffer "dumping" when I eat something high in sugar or fat? I have lost 88 lbs to date, and feel great! I have a wonderful doctor! He projected me to lose 60 to 65 lbs by 6 months, and 110 by one year. He says I am way ahead, and to keep doing what I have been doing. (Nothing!) Just eating less! I have hit a plateau though, and will need to jump start my metabolism to get past it. I know... EXERCISE!
