I am interested in joining your group. I have sent you a friend request on Facebook. I am 7 yrs post op from the Gastric Bypass and I have gained a substanial amount of my weight back. Now I am in a struggle to lose it for a surgery regarding issues I am having with my stomach and digestion. The surgeon won't operate until I am down 60 lbs. Lost 10 and struggling.

 So what did you change?

Hello, I had gastric-bypass RNY in 1996.  I lost 120 lbs within a year.  In 2004 I had a terrible car wreck. I have had to have 5 neck surgeries, back and 2 shoulder surgeries.  After these surgeries I was sent to Pain Management, steroid injections, pain meds and 2 years later I gained 85 lbs.  I need help!!!! I feel awful all the time and do not want to leave my house. I was told by a lap band surgeon that I can not get a lab band because of the RNY.... Please let me know what I can have done to get back to a healthy weight? 

I have tried every diet such as Sensa, Nuti System, Weigh****chers, protein   shakes, personal trainers...you name it ive tried it
