Hello RNYers!

After initial consultation with my surgeon, he highly recommended that I pursue gastric bypass rather than sleeve given my high starting BMI. I had gone into the meeting set on the sleeve; needless to say, I am now looking at RNY as I trust his medical opinion and evaluation of my health.

I am curious about those of you who have had RNY, specifically your starting weight/BMI and your progress to date. So...I invite those of you who feel comfortable to share your before and after RNY pics and progress.

Thanks to you all!

Dev

I am 33 months post op RNY. I would recommend that you take a good before photographs so that you can compare it to the after photograph. Often times we fail to really see ourselves. And after surgery, we sometimes question our weight loss because we have nothing to compare it to.

This is my 6 month before and after photo. I tried to duplicate the same pose.

This is me 4 weeks before surgery and 5 months after. It's not all rainbows and butterflies, but I'd do it again 100 times to feel as good as I do.

Here's mine. About 6 months before surgery and a year after.

Hey Dev,

My original RNY was in 2002. I was 5'2" and 268 then 11 months later I was at goal 132 pounds. I did just have a revision 2/9/16 but you can read my story in my profile if you'd like.

Here's a picture:

Best of luck with your surgery and feel free to ask all the questions you want

Hello,

I had gastric bypass on October 19th, 2015, so I am currently just about 4 1/2 months post op.

My highest weight was 355, surgery weight was 324 and currently I am 258. You can find me on instagram at rny_101915, I post progress pictures there.

Good luck on your journey!

I hope this isn't taken the wrong way, but your before pic os great. You didn't look like you needed WLS.

I am 5 weeks post op RNY. I'm 5'7". My highest weight was 306 with a BMI of 47. I have lost 40 lbs.
