Congratulations on your decision to take the "Journey" of a lifetime. On 3/6/2002, I had the Roux n Y gastric bypass procedure. This was WAY back when the procedure was fairly new. I've maintained a 90 lb weight loss, steady at around 15 pounds from my goal weight, and have never looked back. I'm 74 years old now, and so very thankful as this was the decision that's allowed me to live to this ripe old age!!! Sending MANY Blessings your way today and for your future. Cathleen
