Hi all, my name is Lynn, I am 51, 5 months post op - Lap
gastric bypass roux-en-Y. I have lost 72 pounds, I feel really great! I am going through the not so great thinning of the hair... I HATE it! My hair is long and the thinning is troublesome to me. I know I need to exercise more, it's one of my goals. You can see my blog here:

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.
