I have struggled my entire life with weight. Fortunately I was tall so most people were not aware of my actual weight. I have experienced all of the programs for weight loss and would lose around 40 lbs each time then gain back the weight over a period of time. Now with medical issues my primary physician suggested that I would be a perfect candidate for the Roux NY procedure. My surgery date was 2-25-2010 with Dr. Ben-Meir in Cleveland.  Todate I have lost 37 lbs at the seven week mark post surgery. I am feeling wonderful and am exercising daily - walking. The first two weeks were pretty rough but the program that is offered at St. Vincent Charity and Dr. Ben-Meir is unbelievable.  They are available to walk each patient through the process explaining each step thoroughly so the patient doesn't get any surprises. The trick is do what they tell you to do.
Thank you Dr. Ben-Meir for changing my life and it has only been two months after my surgery. My goal is to lose a total of 100 lbs and I am one third of the way already! YEA!!!
