JOHNNNYRAY
Okay heres the deal.
My whole life I have been over weight. I was the little fat kid that no one wanted on their team for P.E time games. lol
I did try all diets known to man, but didnt get very far. As i got older things got harder for me (like breahting) and i looked into RNY. I got approved after the 6 month log of weight problems from my PCP. and got it done. December 4th 2006 was my big day. My surgen Dr. Smalls of Countryside Florida did a perfect job and all went great. Was back to work in 5 days.
The day of surgery I weighed 340 lbs and today almost 9 months I've lost 131 lbs. i wore a 56" pants and now wear 38's.
All is good and I love life. My weight issue held me back from alot of things as a kid and growning up, but now im able to enjoy those things by doing them with my 8 yr old son.
I would recommend RNY to anyone that can either afford it outright or have ins. that covers this. !!!!!!!!!!!
I come here to OH.com maybe twice a week and either anwser questions or ask my own. This site is very helpful most of the time. Helps me out as it helps out others.
BMI NOW @ 29.9
TODAY IS 8-24-07 AND THIS MORNING I WEIGHED 201LBS SO NOW I AM ONLY 1 POUND AWAY FROM MY GOAL. YAHHHHHOOOOOO!! 200LBS IM COMING FOR YOU NEXT FRIDAY! IM SURE AFTER THAT GOAL IS BEHIND ME ILL MAKE A NEW ONE BUT I HAVE TO MAKE THIS ONE FIRST. SO I GOT A DATE WITH MY SCALE NEXT FRIDAY MORNING 7AM. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHO WINS. HAHA
OK SO I STEPPED ON THE SCALE LAST FRIDAY 8-31-07 AND IT SAID I WEIGHTED 198LBS. SO I GUESS I MADE IT. SWEETNESS! MOST IMPORTANTLY IS HOW I FEEL. I FEEL GREAT. I FEEL I CAN DO ANYTHING, WELL ALMOST ANYTHING. I DONT FEEL RESTRICKED ANYMORE AND HAVENT FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW.
I CANT STRESS ENOUGH THAT HAVING THIS SURGERY WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE.
OK LAST FRIDAY WEIGHT IN (9-14-07) I LOST ANOTHER POUND. NOW I'M AT 197LBS. HELL YEAH!!!
TODAY ON 9-29-07 I WEIGHT 191LBS. LOST ANOTHER 6 POUNDS.
today is feb 10th 2008 and I havent weighed in for about two months (slacker, I know) But I did get on the scale today and found out I weight 176, two mount ago that is the same weight still as today so im happy about that. I know i've been slacking on my chat here on OH and am sorry. Word of advise for anyone thinking about going thru with this RNY "DO IT!!!"
