Hello from a newbie :D

[Tiggerific]

Hi all,

I had my RNY done on 06.07.2011 and I think it was the best decision of my life!

I have lost 91lbs as of today, which is excellent but I have noticed the weight loss has slowed considerably in the last 8 weeks

I hope to get to know you all and we can share our WLS journeys together

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.

Hi Alica, it seems you're right on track. Keep up the good work. I've lost 120 since 12.20.10. It's been a year so far and I look awesome. I seem to be maintaining a healty weight of 180 from 300. I also fluctuate up or down 5 pounds, but 180 seems to be my new weight. I wouldn't worry to much about the slow weight loss because it will happen eventually.

Hi Alica,
Welcome to the forum, I am also new here and I am here to get some health tips and treatment guidance for my cousin. She had gastric bypass few month before and lost 47 lbs. I will try to be active to get more advises from you guys and will share her treatment and recovery with you guys.
