Hi there...I'm Heather aka Lady Prime. I had my RNY at Durham Regional Hospital on June 15th, 2009. My doctor's name was Dr. Alfonso Torquati..

So far it's been an interesting journey. I've lost 57 lbs (was 355, now 298), passed three kidney stones, my hair is now "shedding", went from a 5/6x down to a 3x and still losing..

It is so nice to meet so many others who have had the surgery..I'm hoping to meet new friends, fellow Transformer collectors and even crafters.

Maintaining within a few pounds up and down. 130 is my goal and I've been hovering a pound or two over it for months now.

Hey Heather.. welcome to TT...

What kind of crafting do you do? I'm a sewer and a knitter. I just took up knitting this past January and have taken to it like a duck to water I'm felting as well.

As for the hair loss, it's normal.. it'll slow down soon, so don't worry about that.. the kidney stones- ouch So far, so good, for me there..

Do they tell you if there is something you can do to help minimize getting more of them? (I know little about them, except they hurt like a mofo)

Heather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! you made it to the board! I am glad you are here! Join us over on the June Stapler's thread in the GB forum! (Post op) You have a lot of reading to do!
Most of your questions will be answered pretty thoroughly. I doubt anything that is happening to us newer peeps, hasn't already happened to the older ones. the stalls, the hair loss, poop issues...etc....
anyway, glad you made it here!
