Hi from Kyle,Texas

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to all of you and hope we can be friends.
I had RNY Gastric Bypass laperscopic June 9, 2009.

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.

Where is Kyle Texas? I live up in Northeast Texas. I had RNY about 6 months ago. How's everything going with you?

Welcome to the forum Deborah! I had the roux-en-y as well back on April 28th this year. How much weight have you lost thus far? Are you close to goal?

Anyway - I look forward to getting to know you. Enjoy the forum and happy posting

Damn, I was hoping it was closer to me, lol. I'm about 90 miles east of Dallas. It would be nice to meet someone who lives close to me. But I guess that's what I get for living in BFE
