I'm 44, 5'4" and was 427 at the time of my surgery. I don't have a before picture (I didn't like getting my picture taken). But there is a picture on my profile of me in December when I was 301. Now 275 and shrinking...JR (open RNY 07/17 -152 pounds)

Hi, I am 45 yrs old, 5'2" and weighed 420lbs when I had my surgery on Oct.10, 2002. Its only been 4 months and I have already lost 115lbs. I came through surgery just fine, although the doctors said I would probabaly have complications. 3 weeks after my WLS (Lap RNY) I had to back into surgery and have my gall bladder removed. I also came through that surgery fine. I'm sorry that I do not have any pictures on my profile because I don't have a scanner to send them through. I hope I have helped you out somewhat though. Good Luck and Best Wishes. Patty
