I am only 6 weeks post op. My journey has been very uneventful (thank goodness!) I would definitely do it again if I had to make the choice again.

[Shonabear 107]

Yes I would definitely do it again. I have not had any problems and although the weight loss is slow I know it would be slower if I did not have this tool.

Hi Alex

Without hesitation ! I am 5years out

Having RNY was the best choice ever to No longer be using Insulin 4 times a day Truly fantastic.

WLS is a tool that still requires on going healthy life choices

I have had a weight regain in this last year due to medication menopause & a lot of stress

Getting Rid of this regain weight is proving to be a lot more of a challenge

But in saying that I know consistent action will get the desired out come in the end

If your considering WLS Just Do it !

There are plenty of people who are So healthy as a result if choosing WLS

I am four months post op and already, yes, I would do it again.

Yes, in a heartbeat.

I'm actually thankful for no complications, no triggers, I can eat anything and I never even started off with pureed foods... Just good chewing...

Would I do it again... No! I had already mastered the art of eating healthy and had the desire to work out. I lost 37 lbs and could have lost another 40 on my own and have been content... But not super healthy.

I guess because there is sooooo much to learn. Water intake, Proteins, shakes....and Vitamins.

Reality is... If I did it the natural way I would still need to do Water, Protein, shakes and vits... The difference is I HAVE TO DO IT.

I guess I'm just Debbie Downer today. Cry me a river!!!

Your only 10 days post op. You haven't even given it a chance. Who's to say that you wouldn't have gained weight back to 259. You've been given a tool to help you achieve your weight loss goal. You've lost weight and will lose a lot more. Congrats on your weight loss. And hope you lose the Debbie Downer within you!!! Rock it! You can do it.

You're absolutely right... I haven't given it a chance. I guess I was looking for this dramatic weight loss the first few weeks like I keep reading about. My scale has said 200.2 to 200.8 the last week and I'm ready to scream ... I seem to be dropping sizes but I too wanna be able to see the numbers drop.
