I only read the first of the 3 pages of comments to this post. i am just gonna put my 2 cents in.
I am a vet - 7 years post op as of 11/2018
preop weight 326lbs
post op weight lowest: 132
post op current weight:147lbs.
i am 5'3" tall.
I came to this site actually for a different reason. The reason is that after 7 years of weightloss of 179 lbs total and the past 2 years of being chronically sick in many different aspects of my body: internal digestive problems, inflammation of my joints, low immune system, catching every cold, infection, virus i came within 5 feet of, urinary problems, skin problems, vitamin deficiencies, anemia, nerve damages, b12 deficiency.... the list keeps growing.
I am interested in REVERSING my gastric bypass surgery, even with my success story of weightloss. And my reason why is because I would rather take the chance that i may regain weight entirely, will most definitly regain in sanome aspect. But i would rather live a "plus size" life than to feel like my days are numbered and i could drop dead at any moment.
I feel a reversal would extend my life. this here, this promise that wls was going to extend my life was a money making facade.... and they will make more money on me now.
