Gastric Bypass

I had a gastric bypass May 14, 2007. I weighed 280lbs starting out. Today I am 186 lbs. It is so unbelievable to me. I feel 100% better. No more knee pain and very minimal back pain now. No complications, so far i could be the poster child for gastric bypass surgery. I had the laprascopic RNY done. I was back to work within a month and did very well. I had the surgery on a Monday and was in my own bed by Tuesday night. My surgeon was Dr. Jeff Baker at Unity. What a wonderful team they have. I am so satisfied with the care I recieved. My life has changed so much for the better. I love all the energy and motiviation I have now. Before I was always so lethargic and sluggish. I was even out riding my bike this summmer. I plan on getting a new bike this year. It is hard for me to publish these before and after pictures of myself but I have to face it sometime I guess. Here goes!
