I had surgery August 29 2007 the rny. It has been 7 months now and I hav achieved my goal of 130 pounds. I feel great!. I will never be sorry I had this done. I no longer take any meds at all. My blood pressure is like a teenagers and my cholesteral is160. i can walk without hurting and I no longer need surgery on my knees or ankles. the pressure is off. I havent used my cpap machine for several months now and I stopped taking pain pills for my arthritis pain. I am able to exercise alot and can do it without being short of breath. 
If I wouldent have had the surgery I wouldent  be here today, I just know it. I thank God every day for leading me to this..
I eat well now but I know how to eat healthy and better now. I appreciate all the help I recieved from the doctors and the staff and dieticians and support groups.

Obesityhelp is also a great source of support. I really like the comments and the help from the obesityhelp.org.
sincerely
