Yeah, it has been 12 years!! After the first few years you stop thinking about what has happened. Hopefully you (I) have put into place the things I need to stay healthy for quite awhile. I was 196 on my 12 year surgery (RNY). Here is what I look like today.

I've gotten older...Turned 63. Surgery doesn't help with age!! Will live with the turkey neck...A badge of honor. Would I do it again?? In a heartbeat. I was dying when I had the surgery (congestive heart failure). The surgery gave me a new life. I cut out a lot of sugar and fried foods. I'll eat some, but I don't go hog wild. I got down to a low of 187. I then gained back up to about 235 over the years. Each year I will put a picture of what I look like near my surgery date (so new people can see what to expect). I do a lot of physical work. When I am not working I will exercise (bicycle or walking). Life is good...

Good for you! I can't see any of the pictures in your OP, but I can see the one in the second one.

Hi Brian.

If I understand you were 300 at surgery got down to an all-time low of about 187 and now 12 years later you are 196? That is a tremendous success, congratulations!!

High of about 300 pounds. Lost some weight (for the surgery). Day of surgery I was 272...The other parts are correct.
