Three years ago last week, I had RNY. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Before:

After:

(gotta love padded bike shorts, LOL!)

Complications? Nothing huge... some gallbladder problems right now. Food occasionally gets stuck when I forget to chew, even three years later. Reactive hypoglycemia. Electrolytes a bit messed up sometimes (my fault, I don't drink enough). But in general, my life now is beyond my wildest dreams.

I may get a bit of plastic surgery in the next year or two to shore up the girls and get rid of extra tummy stuff. But I lucked out in the skin department for the most part. I am told that being a non-smoker, along with genetics, helped.

Amazing transformation! Congratulations... You truly are a new woman. I always loved cycling when I was younger, on my bucket list of things to get back to as I lose the weight.
