Hi Willie - I hear ya. My only regret about having WLS is that I didn't do it sooner. My decision to undergo the
RNY is easily the singlemost best decision I've made for myself in years!
BTW = welcome to WLSJourney.org! You've had some excellent success as post-op so congrats on that! Feel free to introduce yourself over at the
Howdy Hi Introductions section

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
|
 |
A type of gastric bypass procedure which combines restrictive and malabsorption techniques - meaning, it reduces the amount of food a patient can comfortably eat (restriction), and also reduces the amount of calories that can be digested in the small intestine (malabsorption). This combination of bariatric methods leads to greater weight loss and the roux-en-y procedure is seen as one of the best ways to treat clinically severe obesity.
See WLS Videos for animated surgery technique. |
