I do implore you to research all surgeries to learn which best fits your needs.  I am not a cheerleader for any particular surgery.  Just because I had the RNY doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for you.

The following are helpful links that include not only information but stories from patients.

RNY forum 

With RNY being the darling of WLS there doesn’t seem to be one site that's dedicated entirely to information only, or at least none that I’ve been able to find.  Most are personal webpages or surgeon’s websites.  So in this case I’m going to add my own surgeon’s site.

Goddamnit!  When the hell is House on?  One week it wasn’t on; another it was on Monday.  

American Idol is only interesting during the auditions when people make complete asses of themselves, wind up sobbing hysterically and wishing they were dead.  Or former street walkers claiming they’ll have eleven platinum albums.  Yes that’s nice dear.  What a lovely formfitting washcloth and wig you’re wearing.  Move along now.
