Well let me see how to begin. It has been almost 4 yrs since my surgery and now im making a profile. I have always been active but just overweight but It slipped up on me and then oneday i just didnt feel good anymore. So i checked on the weightloss surgery RNY open. Not alot to tell I didnt have any trouble getting my surgery everything went smooth. On the day of my surgery I was 6-4 472 lbs and unhappy. My surgery went great I didnt have any problems at all and the fun begin. I melted away lol i had lost 240 lbs in 13 months I was totally a brand new person healthy active and enjoying life. I wouldnt change a thing about my journey it has made my life so much more enjoyable. I would recomend it to anyone but remember its a tool and its what you make of it and how you use that tool to be successful. I have maintained my weight now for almost 3 years so im proud of that. I can never see myself going back the other way.
If i had any drawbacks to the surgery it would be the emotional changes that you go thru. I was alraeady in a mediocre marriage and the changes i went thru didnt help at all. We tried but things just didnt work out so we have went our separate ways. So be prepared when you dive into weightloss surgery prepare for physical and mental changes that you will face.
