Good Luck Tonya!!!

Hey, I am sure that through the years you've been in touch with VitaLady Michelle - as you probably know, she has an ERNY and has managed very well.

I hope you can solve whatever issues you are having without additional surgeries.  I worry about a full pouch take down for you as your original surgery was a stomach stapling then RNY then ERNY and now to DS .

I am a revision too.  I remember you from a while back.  I am sorry if you are having troubles - that sucks!

All Best,

It sounds like you were revised to a distal RNY hence all the gas.  I think most of us have weird stomach noises.  I don't have spasms nor noise all the time but sometimes I do sound like a beast.

Good luck

Why would OH pull that post?

You've got to do what works for you.

The 5 Day is over for me until I feel I need to do again.  Down 7 lbs and doing a more  sensible daily diet.  As I said whatever works.  If you can stay on atkins Kudos to you.  That was my choice before WLS but  never could stick it out.

 Best,

LayLa

YES!!!  Let's do this thing and show them how it's done!!!

You've got to come over to the WL graduates forum here on OH.  that will be out chEck-in point.

Happy Saturday!  Get ready okay!

I know you are revising or somewhere in between but in the meanwhile if you want to feel a little better join us.  I will be posting on the WLS graduates forum. .

Hey Babygirl!

Remember that even if you have the DS, you will STILL have to get your diet in order . . . that means you'll need to drop the carbs STILL!  the magic is that you will have to stop putting certain things in your body and you will have to stop eating as much as you like and when you want to.  We have to learn to be mindful and stop the instant gratification with food.  It is real baby like and we are not babies.  We need to eat for nourishment.

I haven't had a gain but I never lost to goal.  No doubt that I can still lose and I have no doubt that you can too.  Do you want to give it a whirl together?  I am going to start the 5 Day pouch on Sunday or Monday - more than likely Sunday.  Are you interested?  We can use the Grads Forum for posting and text back and forth. 

Check out the 5 Day pouch.  I have the books so if I find anything particularly insiteful I will post about it.  The books are really good by the way.

All Best,

Layla

Hmmm.  Why don't you bite the bullet and get revised to the duodenal switch.  You know ROSE, Stomphyx etc. have all had very poor results.  Or if you are no****ching your intake and exercise, do that first.

I wish you the very best.

Layla

Good luck Hun!

Congrats Pineview! 

... just looked at your profile because I kind of thought you had your band out already and you do!!!  That's great!  Me, I thought it was better for me being "unbanded" for a while prior to having my revision.

All best!

Wow, I like how you group all the restrictive WLS into the 98% failure rate.  I hope you are not glorifying your new choice of surgery because there is some stats on that as well.    If you got approved for any WLS, you could have fought for the DS and won if that is what you needed.

No way any of these surgeries will do the work for you.   We've got to swim to our destination then keep swimming to maintain.

All Best!

Gosh, I really, really, really struggled with the idea of cutting and removing my stomach (because of this, I almost had it folded like a burrito instead.  Thank God I back out in the final minutes).  But it has been such a blessing to have the burden of having to constantly satisfy my big ole stomach removed.

And my doc said things like "now you'll be like the rest of your girlfriends",  "now you have the stomach you wished you were born with".  Awesome!!!

All best!
