Hi Everyone from Ontario

[grasstango]

Hey Folks
My name is Melissa, I'm 30 yrs old and live in Trenton, Ontario with my wonderful husband and 2 dogs ( great dane and a Rottie)
I've battled with my weight my entire life and finally decided it was time to take back control. I had my RNY gastric bypass on August 27th in Utica, NY, surgery was performed by Dr. Graber and it was the best decision i've ever made ( aside from marrying my husband....lol)

I look forward to getting to know some of you
cheers
Melissa

if anyone wants to check out my surgery blog the address is Follow my journey My whole pre-surgery story is on there

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.
