6 year surgiversary - the all important 5 year mark

Nov 09, 2012

Happy Surgiversary to me!  I have been a successful RNY patient for 6 years and have kept my weight off for 5 years....I had surgery to put into remission my diabetes and cure my sleep apnea.  I was successful in getting rid of the C-pap machine but not the diabetes...however, with alot of hard work and the help of caring doctors, my diabetes is in control with a small amount of medication.  More importantly, I have changed my life in so many ways and lead an active and productive lifestyle...I am so surprised that anyone with an obesity problem does not consider RNY or sleeve surgery....I myself am not a fan of the lapband for many reasons...I run a support group and have seen so many failures with the band and so many more successes with RNY and the sleeve.  My 100 lb weight loss has been pretty much stable for about 14 months since my meds got readjusted and I started my yoga practice which is good for the high level of stress and for my body shape.   To everyone who has supported me and helped me along the way, I thank  you.  To anyone who wants to contact me regarding this surgery, please feel free to email me:  [email protected]
