RNY with Dr. Gregory Dakin at Weill-Cornell

WORTH IT
Surgery with Dr. Gregory Dakin and Weill-Cornell could not have gone any better. At 10 months post op, I’m down 110 pounds and 17 pounds from my goal weight, 10 pounds from a normal BMI. Thus far, I haven’t had any real complications. Initial recovery is difficult but I turned the corner at around 4 months post op and started eating more and going to the gym.

Liz is a phenomenal nutritionist and strict! Very knowledgeable about what we should put into our bodies for the most effective results and maintenance post op.

In all, I would highly recommend this group to anyone seeking Bariatric surgery.

I am the exact weight U were when you started and im doing my research because my back and knees are killing me and i just want the weight off, just nervous about the excess skin and my head looking too big. But you look great and keep up the good work!!!

One year post op

Kachhi
Had my one year follow up and all is going quite well Bariatric wise. I do have a small umbilical hernia that was there preop but has since gotten bigger and causing discomfort. Luckily, Dr. Dakin is also able to take care of this as well. Otherwise, I’ve lost 126 pounds and feel better now than I have ever felt in years, maybe ever!
I honestly do not regret having the RNY and would do it again if I had to. My only regret is not having it done sooner.

I do have lose skin and just had a tummy tuck on 3/7. I plan to have a breast lift with implants later this year and maybe a button lift within the next two years.

Hi Kacchi, thanks for sharing your weight loss journey. You look great! Has the issue with your umbilical hernia been resolved? Have may have missed it what was your starting weight? Have your reached or exceeded the target weigh goals you set with your physician / nutritionist?

Continued success with your WLS progress.
