One year since I had my RNY!!! well 8/6/2008

On Aug 6, 2008 I had RNY I weighed 260 lbs and could no longer wear shoes (my feet were too swollen), my RNY was the best thing I have EVER done for myself!!! I am now 100 lbs (with 20 more lbs to go) lighter and I am in remission from my neurological disorder called Intracranial hypertension  or (IH). I am no longer going blind or have God awful headaches, this is the happiest Ive been in the last 5 yrs!!!
Here are some before and after pictures;

Congratulations.  You're making your RNY work for you successfully!  Life is grand!
