Hi! I found this information useful as I just had RNY surgery in August,2011. So far, I have lost 33% of my total weight and now weigh 252. My goal is 180 pounds. How is your weight loss journey at the moment?

I had this procedure done fairly recently. On May 5th, 2010 I had this procedure performed to help me with the back problems I was having due to the excess weight. There are many feelings that you go through before and after RNY. It is important to prepare yourself in every way, physically and mentally before a surgery like this. It is critical for your success!
