I had an open RNY and I don't think the manner of surgery affects the effectiveness of weightloss. Remember that every body is different and lose at different rates so just concentrate on yourself and do the best that you can and stick to your plan and goals.

Thank you...I will continue to keep faith and stay on track...I had Open because of a previous surgery .It left alot of scar tissue so they couldnt see what they was doing....

Hi, yes I had open surgery 12 days ago and have only lost 2 kilos (4.4 lbs).

It's kinda depressing.

That's how i feel.....I lost only 10lbs since my surgery aug 12....I wonder those it have to do with it being open and not the other way...But word of advice just dont give up and ask your doctor lots of questions...We came this far and it's gonna be hard so we must stay strong and ride with it...Congrats and I wish you the best of luck on your journey..
