I had the roux en y done in the year 2000. I weighed 250 lbs on my 5 foot framed body then. I was successful in my weight loss and size 6-8 was no longer a dream, it became reality for me. By 2007 I had gained back about 15-20 pounds and was a good size 10. I was happy as people put on 15 to 20% of their body weight back on after some years I was told. I ate good food and watched what I ate for the most part. In 2009 I started my weight climb..no matter what I did..Jenny, WW, Adkins, HCG etc etc...didn't matter...I didn't know why and it was very frustrating...here I was AGAIN...I am told that after years, the pouch that was 2 oz after surgery stretches and that it can even grow back to the original stomach size. I was told there was nothing that could be done for revision here in the USA.....then when I found out about stomaphx and the rose procedures I was excited...until I was told the price and the results which are shaky..Someone told me about revision with the lap band...Dr Almanza offered it and I researched it...I am to have it done May 16th, 2012 and I am ecstatic...nervous but thrilled at the same time. I know Carnie Wilson just went thru the same thing as me...I wish I could speak with her too...Anyway, my story is still in progress and I look forward to the support of this board and wish success to all of my fellow weight loss travelers...
