WOW, time flies!!
It seems like its been forever ago when I had my RNY surgery in 2008.
AGAIN, HERE'S SOME OF THE GOOD, WONDERFUL, BAD & UGLY..........
*WELL, I have done pretty good through the years regarding weight. I did gain some after a few years but not a huge amount. This is normal & you have to kick yourself again but its much easier with the surgery.
*BUT, I now cannot recommend the RNY surgery. Over the years of doing well I now have quite a bit of health issues which I know are at least partially from the surgery, namely from Mal-absorption. Never think that it won't happen to you, I didn't think it would ever happen to me! I have to take many many vitamins & other meds & still have issues. I have osteoporosis at a fairly young age along with a lot of other issues. I'm also now gaining weight like never before since the surgery, I think due to my illness.
Forgive me if I tend to sound negative, I've been dealing with so much health wise, too much to get into on here & its been difficult. PLEASE do your research & make sure to pick the right surgery for yourself if your going to have any. Also, its so important to make sure your surgeon has a good track record, research, research!!! I have no complains about mine.
Peace & Love to you all!
