  1. My sister had Roux n Y back when it was first introduced, I think it was back in the early 2000's. She weighed 375lbs or so at the time. Yes, it did save her life but, she no longer enjoys food but still craves it immensely. Every time she eats at family gatherings, she eats too quickly or too much and then she heads up to the bathroom. Food is no longer a joy for her body but her mind won’t cooperate. My sister bows out of family holiday gatherings because they no longer appeal to her since she can't join in with the rest of us during dinner. Now she drinks a lot of red wine...a lot. It gives her that high that food used to do for her. My sister is no longer the fun person she was. I miss her. Recently I asked her if it was reversible and she said no. In all honestly, I want my sister back. The one who enjoyed life. She said she would be dead without the Roux n Y but she's not living life like she wants. Just saying it like I see it.
