I had it at St. Vincent Carmel Hospital. Dr Diaz was my surgeon.

For anyone that is looking into having RNY surgery...look at what it has done for me...
In April of this year I weighed in at 309lbs. I was devistated. I was wearing 24/26 clothes that were tight! Well in just 7 short months this is where I am now 188lbs and wearing a size 12. I have about 23 more pounds to go until I get to my goal of 165 (I am 5'9 so that is a BMI 25) and for Thanksgiving this year...I am jogging/walking in my FIRST 5k. I am so excited I can't hardly wait. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY RNY. It has changed my life FOREVER and I am so happy with the results that I have had. Here is some before and now photos.

Just some advice from me, I was losing my hair really bad too. I still am and I am 6 months out. Use Biotin. I take the pills I swallow and also the ones that disolve under the tongue. I also use the Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo conditioner and also the spray. The most important part of it though is the Protein. My doctor says to make sure to get 75+ grams of protein per day, I am staying close to 100grams. If you are doing all of this, then the Hair loss should be minimal. There will be some, but not to the point of balding. Good luck with all of this. It is so sad to see your hair coming out. I cried. If you do all of the above you should be fine. It should slow down at about a year out. There are a lot of hormonal things going on right now. Once your body starts normalizing all this will go away. Hope this helps

Wow..a typical day...here we go.
I try to eat something within the first hour I get up, so that is about 6am.
7am Premier Protein shake
Most of my Vitamins (except calcium)
7:30am 1 scrambled egg

chredded cheese
9:30am Premier Protein Bar (1/2)

I emphasize getting in 100+ grams of Protein a day.
Also I walk 1-2 miles a day and work out on my bowflex 3 times a week (30 minutes each)
