Had RNY on July 16, 2013 and celebrated the 36th anniversary of my 21st birthday on July 27.

Loving life, looking forward to the future, health is getting better, I've made the right decision in having the surgery.

Hi everyone

I'm 50 ( as of 5 days ago) and had rny on 7/23/13. I'm 54 pounds down since the start of my journey. I'm feeling good overall although ankle and knee pain has not been good and keeps me from walking a lot. You ate right Darcylyn this would be very hard to go through alone.

I am 56. Had mine in May @55' turned 56 in August. Have lost 80 lbs so far. And am loving life. As far as weight loss is concerned. After you have surgery, please make sure that you keep up with you supplements. I know 3 people that have had heart attacks and one of them actually died because they were so anemic and very little Iron Keep on your doctor. Would I do it again? In a minute.

Hi, I'm 55, I'm pro-op and waiting on insurance approval. I have a tentative date of January 16th. I should hear something today. Any other 50'ers having surgery in January?

Amazing! so we're going threw all of this together. AND oh man, are there three different ways of doing things...lolol...but where we come together is 'recipes'..we love to compare different ways to cook, bake, broil & boil things.
