Guest guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 I would like to welcome all of the new people to the group and tell you a little about me since I don't post all that often. My name is Rinn and I had open RNY surgery 3/30/00 at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN. My starting weight was 460 pounds. I lost down to 180 and had a tummy tuck, the excess skin removed from my thighs, brachioplasty (bat-wing) removal, and mastopexy (breast lifts) in 2001. I have since regained some of my weight back and I am certainly struggling with that. I currently weigh about 225 and am afraid to get on the scale. If I had one piece of advise to give to the preops and newly postops it would be to work very hard at developing and keeping good habits. It is so easy to revert to old habits that got us in trouble to begin with. I am fighting that one right now. The 45 pounds I have gained have " found me " over the past 20 months or so. Well, I'll close. I am sorry to go on so long. Take care and have a wonderful weekend everyone! Rinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
