Welcome, I'm like you I only found the site after my operation but its great inspiration. You can learn so much by reading other peoples diaries and experiences. Congratulations on surgery and good luck on your journey.

Fit and fantastic!
Hello Chris. welcome to the forum and to the losers bench. Feel free to ask whatever you need to, and someone is bound to be along to pick-up and answer. Congratulations on your loss so far, and lots more will be coming off over the next few months. Guess you must be just about to move from sipping simple fluids and moving on to thicker ones (no lumps at all etc). Keep us informed on your progress x

Hey Chris
Glad to hear that you're well on the other side and keeping the pain in check! The main difference between mini bypass and RnY is that there's 1 join in the intestines rather than 2 and the stomach pouch is a different shape. The op results are the same, it's just a slightly simpler operation. I've not had it yet - 20th October is my day .on the table
