x-post: 18m update, RNY to DS revision

[Girlrocker]

I posted an update on the DS board but wanted to make sure it was shared here. I can't believe it's been 18 months since my revision, and I'm beyond grateful at how smooth it has gone for me. My RNY was a rock road on all kinds of fronts - complications (which can happen with any surgery), infection, lost a job, and so on. I know it works for some people, but it didn't for me, I spent the next 10 years trying to get and stay under 200 lbs (from 280) and was miserable. Today I'm 155, still can't believe that either, and healthy, feel good, love the DS lifestyle. Here's a link to the update post which includes some older post links and photos.

Well thank you! But I can't take any credit for Texas, recently spent some time there, but I'm a Chicago native who now lives in Los Angeles since 7 years ago
