yes debbe i have had thyroid checked and had full blood tests . just waiting to see what the dr is going to do next month as im m on the list for a redo, x-rays show no changes so im not sure if there is any point in having a redo. i see the excersize physiologist on monday and a dietician/nutritionist the week after so hopefully between them we can sort out something and get this weight comming of again. ive been walking with my younger sister every day and taking my two younger kids out for a walk while they ride their scooters. maybe getting in a lot more excersize will start the loss again .. i can only keep trying ...

yeah i agree with you there tamihill it is nasty and it made me gag heaps lol. glad its over just gotta wait till next month to see the surgeon and find out whats going to happen from there...

not long got back from the hospital from having the barium swallow x-rays done. its the most vial stuff ive ever had to drink it was like thick chalky glue ewwww yucky crap... anyway my RNY was in november of 2004 and ive been putting on a bit of weight over the last two years and im still not eating very much at all. the x-ray showed no problems with my pouch it hasnt stretched or grow any since my RNY was done back in 2004 . ive been approved to have RNY re-de surgery in the next few months . but i dont know how they can do a re-do surgery if my first surgery is still looking good...hmmmm..im going to see an excersize physiologist on monday and am seeing a nutritionist on the 27th. i go back to see my surgeon next month on the 18th so im wondering what he is going to do from there... well the best news for me is that ive not done anything wrong to stretch my pouch which i sort of already knew cause i never over eat, i know when im full and i stop eating as soon as i get that full feeling cause i hate throwing up and if i over eat just a little thats what happens so im careful not to eat too much. i also get plenty of fluids in. and i walk every day .. i dont know what more i can do to get this weight started comming of again its been two years since ive lost anything at all and ive still got a long way to go ...

hi im interested in hearing from anyone who has had gastric bypass surgery and had to go in for a redo .. i had gastric bypass in 2004 and my starting weight was 493lb and got down to 260lb and i kept it off for 6 years. but due to a disc prolapse and upcomming knee surgery and heart issues ive put on almost 60lb again . i saw my surgeon last week and he has put me back on the waiting list for a gastric bypass redo or for the gastric sleve (whichever he decides to do). im told i will only be waiting about 12 weeks for this surgery and i am very scared as i have heard it is high risk surgery.. .so id like to hear from anyone who has had the redo and if they had any problems with it... i had no problems with the first gastric bypass other than needing to be on iron and b12 injections... thanx from debz
