I had an illistomy for crohn's disease (over 20 years) and my band was released- I GAINED back all the weight I had lost and kept off for 3+ years. Now the illistomy has been reversed and I have NO ability to re lose the weight. I am having the band re filled tomorrow and I hope I can relose the weight but I have difficulty with a lot of food. Raw vegitables, nuts.chicken etc. Junk food digests fine. Does anyone have insight or experience with these issues?? currently on Remicade infusions. Hip and bone spurs make moving difficult- inflamation issues.
