Second time around



Recommended Posts

I had my first RNY surgery in July 2010. My HW was 375, SW was 350 and I was maintaining my weight around 210. I was very happy how things were going. Then this past December I started getting sick after eating so I just started eating less. Well after a couple months of this I finally went to my family doctor. He got me an appointment with a doctor to get an scope down my throat to see if there was any issues. Well there was an issue the area where my small intestine connected to my small pouch had collapsed. He was able to get it open enough that I was put on a liquid diet until my Bariatric doctor could put in a stint. So on April is was to have the stint put in but he found more issues. The 2 stomachs had grown together and I had 3 ulcers. So on April 9 I had a reconstruction of my RNY and had the areas where the stomachs had grown together along with the 3 ulcers removed. I am 26 days since my surgery just starting to eat some solid foods. I am down to 163 I am just hoping that I can put back on a some weight.
