Hello everyone!

I had a RNY Gastric ByPass 6 years ago (Dec 06.) My highest weight was 364 lbs and my lowest weight was 169 lbs. I joined MFP a couple of weeks ago to conquer my regain weight. I want to lose about 15 more lbs to get back to around 175 lbs which was the weight I was most happiest at.

I do not regret having GBP surgery as it has given me such a better quality of life. No one understands like fellow weight loss surgery people when I say I was so happy I burst into tears the moment I saw my collar bone for the first time! :happy: :laugh:

Nice to meet everyone and good luck on your journies!

    Welcome, and I think you will find MFP and the folks here very helpful.

    I always appreciate hearing from those who had surgery further back. The only thing that has worried me was the prospect of falling off the wagon and regaining lots of weight. I'm still pretty new, having had surgery on 8/21/12.

    So far, it seems like you have done fantastic.

    Hey grim, I'm just about 8 years out with the lapband. I go up and down about 10 lbs but I really haven't regained much...I'm at the top of my range of where I like to be and that's why I've been trying to log my food and get motivated to exercise..I am new to the message boards and figured that this one would probably a good one to start with.

    That's amazing success for eight years out. Not to mention a lot of hard work and dedication. I'll count myself lucky if I can do any where near as well.
