3 month update

[Guest guest]

Hi preops,

I haven't posted on here in a while as its hard to keep up with this

group and the postop group. I will be 3 months postop this week and

I'm doing great. I've lost 48 lbs, have more energy than ever and

feel like a new person. I'm still learning to deal with the

difference between what my head wants to eat versus what my body will

allow but its worth it. Its hard to explain how different my

reactions to food are. Something will look good but if I eat it, I

don't get the same pleasure from it, so I get bored after a bite or

two. I didn't believe the post ops who said this would happen but it

does!! Thanks to Dr. R for all the time he spent finding this

incredible way to help us and how involved he stays with all of us. I

have a friend who had the Rouen-Y in Ft. Lauderdale and there is NO

support from other patients, staff, etc. I can't imagine where my

life would be today if I hadn't had the surgery with Dr. R. Please

let me know if anyone needs a contact.
