Well I was just informed of this site recently so I can't really go back to the beginning - but I am willing to answer any questions from anyone. My Lap RNY was done on March 17, 2003. I am now a little over 4 months out and doing great - just weighed in at 170. I started off at 241 so that is 71 lbs! Very exciting. All my clothes are way too big so I just bought a new outfit today - I skipped over XL and L from 1X down to Mediums in pants. Still have to have Large for the top. It wasn't until today when looking in the mirror in the new capri's I was trying on did I realize how much smaller I am! WOW! This surgery has really changed my life! It is amazing. My only complaint is the hair loss. My hair is falling out like crazy! I think I am a bit low on the protien but from what I have read so far it could mostly be contributed to the sudden weight loss especially since it is so much. I hope it stops soon. I am taking extra Vit. A to help encourage new hair growth. The pharmacist said to take extra Vit. E as well. So I will probably pick that up this weekend. More pills! Yeah!
