Treci..I just read your post and we had surgery on the same date. I also had a lap RNY. That is great that you have lost 40 pounds. I have lost approximatly 30 pounds, and about 27 inches or so. I love hearing from people who had surgery the same day as I did so if you ever want to email me please feel free. Oh, by the way, I am 33, a mother of three and have an Lpn license, but switching careers. We may have some things in common outside of the surgery. Keep up the good work and best wishes in this journey. Cori
