I had Lap RNY in February 2001 and have lost about 135 pounds. I had no complications with surgery and it has been, by far, the best thing I've ever done! I did need my gallbladder out two years post WLS and had an internal hernia at 4 1/2 year post-op. That was PAINFUL, but still no regrets. I'm able to keep up with my wonderful hubby and three great kids - Life is Good!
I'm fortunate enough now to work as a Bariatric Coordinator for a Surgical Weight Loss Program in Sacramento, CA. I love spending my days helping other patients through this process and I will NEVER forget from where I came!
I'll quickly admit that weight loss surgery certainly isn't for everyone, but if you've tried everything, researched it, and have the support of others - then Go For It! It's hard work, but well worth the effort.
