Hi I am Lauryn Beth

[LaurynBeth]

Hello! I am Lauryn Beth from Enchanted New England and I am so excited to say I am 5 weeks post-op RNY and have lost 42 lbs.!!!! Looking forward to meeting lots of kindred spirits on WLS Journey!

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.
