I am so glad you are feeling better now, I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post! I know what you mean about the pain... Right now I can barely walk from my lower back pain, my doc called me today saying I have high triglycerides so I dont know if that's something rny can help with also... I'm in New York and know a few ppl who have had rny but they aren't too helpful. So I figured I join a forum for help! Thanks for your info and best of luck to you with continuing on your journey!
