Welcome Barb. My first suggestion is that you go to your surgeon and ask to

be scoped to make sure that your mechanics are working.

Hi all!!

I'm a newbie to this group from Scarborough, the east end of Toronto,

although I do know some members from my other support group

(ossg-toronto-area), and was recommended to come here for some helpful

advice and interesting, inspiring people. I had open RNY on September

18, 2002 at Scarborough Grace Hospital, performed by Dr Joffe, (great

doctor!). I've had wonderful success with my wls, and I am so greatful

for my lifechanging surgery.

I'm 5'7 tall, and in April of 2002 I weighed in at my highest weight

of 340lbs-350lbs. At surgery I was approximately 310lbs-320lbs and I

currently weigh 190lbs. I am so thrilled with my success and I still

love telling people what " I used to weigh " , and getting the " no

ways!! " , it's still fun to see people's jaws drop to the floor, and

show them my pics.

Well enough babbling for now!!!
