Hi, I have just recently had RNY surgery (two weeks ago today!). I stumbled upon this site while doing a web search on my surgeon, she was a 'Doc who rocked' last year. No complications so far, and I am amazed at how good I am feeling so quickly after surgery. Took me over two years to get here, and I look forward to the changes that have started and will continue as time progresses.

Hi, 334 pounds was my starting weight, but that was before the three weeks on the Optifast shakes. I hope to make it to 170 pounds as time goes on. |
