Welcome to Mayo Connect, you have come to right place to connect with others who have faced decision if and what type of surgery.

I had RYN over 10 years ago, and lost over 100 lbs (some before surgery, most after). Prior to surgery, I had tried every diet program out there with some success, but always gained weight back. After surgery, I have had my up and downs, but never big weight gains. When weight starts to go up, just have to get back to basics. It is no magic cure, it is still hard work.

What is your next step? Most programs require classes prior to surgery to prepare you for lifestyle changes needed.
