James thank you so much this answered a lot of my problems. That was me I wa= s reading about. I will definitely show this to my dr on my next visit. Btw I= 've gained 7lns and have been able to keep it on for almost a month.

@@angelface thank you for your advice. I have asked around I used to work in a hospital in Chicago ( Rush St Luke's ) and my friend who still there did some research for me and was able to get me in to see the director of bariatrics to see me. So I have to go home to find answers. Again thank you for your help & prayers as they are much needed. ; )

@ James: Lol no my friend I'm in my middle 40's. No disrespect but that gave me a little chuckle ; )

Please send me the info you have on the reversal of the surgery. I have done everything with no success . Thank you

That's exactly what happened to me. What scares me the most is that we have no control over how much weight we lose. My bottom low is 96lbs so I'm deathly afraid and the fact that my doctors can't explain any of it. All they've been telling me is now they rare finding out the seriousness of the kind of bypass I had. I used to work at Rush St Luke's Medical center and I still have a friend there. She talked to the director dr of gastric bypass and referred me to him. He agreed to see me. Hopefully he'll give me some answers. Cause all they tell me here is that the surgery has to be reversed when it can't

I can eat a full meal and not hold it down sometimes. It would come up on me or go straight thru me.

Yes it was the Y and it was done thru 4 incisions in my stomach. Yes severe pain after I eat or when I eat and my stomach still feels empty. The sleeve wasn't available in 2006.

My problems started about 2 yrs ago but I really started to spiral downward last AprilThey told me I would have to be on TPN bags for my nutrients & go home with a home care nurse but my gastric doctor was against it due to the damage it would do to my kidneys after time. I'm at my wits end and I'm reaching out to anyone who might know anything!!!!!

Hi my name is Liz and I had my surgery back in 2006. And to be completely honest with you, I've regretted it ever since.the sleeve wasn't available at the time so I don't know what can be done. Let me start from the beginning. I was 5'6 310lbs diabetes, high blood pressure. Cholesterol thyroid, you name it I had it. Then I was approved for the surgery, and so thrilled. In the beginning it was great, I was losing weight feeling healthy and I was back in shape better than ever. Then I started to notice something, I was eating more than usual and wasn't gaining any weight. I didn't think anything of it at first but the weight just started falling off of me like crazy. It wasn't until last year when I lost over 60lbs in 4 months.i spent the whole summer in and out of hospitals. And not one doctor could tell me what was wrong with me. They still can't.losing the weight is out of control now, I can't stop it even if I wanted to. I got rid of a whole list of things but ended up with a whole new list of problems. I'm on every vitamin known to man, I have a hard time keeping food down and the pain is unbearable!!!!!! Had I'd known about all these side affects I would've thought twice about having it. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS!!!!!! I've been given every test and blood test known to man. I live in Michigan and have been to 3 different hospitals and still no answers. If anyone out there can help me please I need a doctor who knows about all the side affects. After 14 yrs I didn't aspect anymore side affects. Please anyone!!!!!!!
