Ok, I have slipped a bit and gained back 60 of the 200+ pounds I lost. It started with knee issues, stopped going to the gym, knee replacement and inactivity followed. A few falls and then fear of falling. I keep telling myself it is just old age (over 60 now). I try to eat healthy, still limit my carbs and eat meat and fish. I drink 1/2 gallon green tea daily. This summer I started swimming again and I even cut the grass now. I have not had a carbonated drink in 11 years.

I had cataracts of both eyes fixed, so no glasses. I am now a platinum blond (no it is not gray!) I have no regrets with the surgery! Just a little disappointed in myself.

My only other question is: Does anyone have nighttime leg cramps? Not just the calf type by thigh, shins and toes too? Wondered if it was related to the surgery.

Wow, hard to believe it has been 5 years since my RNY! I am into plastic surgery now, skin removal from everywhere including tummy, tushhy, breasts, and even eyelids. Next year I plan on legs and maybe arms. What a 200 pound weight loss can do. Wish I lost weight while young so I would have had some skin rebounding on its own. :(
Otherwise I would still recommend this surgery for anyone overly obese. What a joy it is to feel "normal".
