8+ Years RNY Post OP Anyone?

Hey guys,

Are there any of you who have had their RNY surgeries 8+ years ago?

If so, how successful were/are you?  

If not, what happened?

Do you ever regret having your RNY surgery?

Me:  Not Even!  I have never regretted having my RNY surgery. It saved my eyesight, which was deteriorating because of my diabetes in the past.

My life has been so much more rewarding.  I have slowly learned to like myself and the way I look, although I still have those moments where I still think I'm ugly...but that is still a work in progress.  I am healthy and know that this surgery was the best thing that I could have done!!

Just hit my tenth year last month.  I would do it all over again.  Yes, medical problems...But you expect those.  You have abused your body for 20 years...Things will come up.  A heart attack...I had one pre op too.  Bladder stones, kidney stones...I had high uric acid pre op and still have it post op.  I still need to sip sip sip!!  I would have been dead about 5 years ago without this surgery.  I wouldn't have been able to walk both my daughters down the aisle...This was from last year.

You look AMAZING!  CONGRATS to you!!

God bless you and your family, and have a wonderful New Year!!

It's nice when people swing by and tell us they are doing well but even nicer when they stick around to offer support and encouragement to others.

Amen Sister! 

Today is my 8 year Surgiverasy! I am half the person I was then and it is the best decision I ever made!

You look gorgeous dear!  Have a wonderful New Year!!!
