April, I couldn't get this go to through to your personal email address.

Anyway, I think it would be interesting to see others' responses! Mar.

1) VBG or Rny? Date of wls?

RNY, 1/22/01

2) How long did you research before having wls?

2 MONTHS

3) How many doctors did you see before choosing yours?

None! Was referred to Dr. A. and chose to have the surgery with him after first

visit.

4) What were the deciding factors for you in choosing your wls?

I had a hernia which had to be repaired. My PCP recommended Dr. A. do the

hernia AND gastric bypass at the same time. It was the first I had ever

seriously considered gastric bypass for myself.

5) Do you feel that you have been successful? (Knowing that the

medical community feels that loosing 50% of excess weight is

considered a success)

Yes. I feel I have been successful.

6) If you could do it over again, would you choose the same wls? Why

or why not?

Yes. I would choose the RNY. I might look into having it done laprascopically

rather than open.

7) Have you had complications directly resulting from the wls? If

so, what are they?

No.

8) What co-morbidities did you have before wls? Do you still have

those after loosing the weight? If so, are they worse/better?

I had sleep apnea (undiagnosed, but I know now that I had it); I had very sore

feet/ankles/knees. I am much better now - no sleep apnea. I still have aches

and pains, but NOTHING like it used to be.

Hope this helps!

Hancock
