I just read your profile and I was so impressed that I just had to tell you so. You have kept such a good record and made it so interesting to read too. My husband and I both had our open rny's at Pacific Bariatric too with DR. Rumsey. His (Doug, aka: OLD RODEO CLOWN PANTS) was in Oct 2001 and he has lost 215 lbs. Mine was in June 2001 and I have lost 110 lbs. We live in La Mesa so we are not too far from you in Lakeside. We used to live in Santee many years ago, right on the border of Lakeside, near the Home of the Guiding Hands. You are doing so well on your gastric bypass journey. I congratulate you on your wonderful weight loss. I also enjoy reading all of your postings on the message board. I also enjoy Stacie O's stuff too!! Keep up the good fight and you will win this battle.
