Surgeon Testimonial

Subhashini Ayloo MD
So far I just had my first consult with her, she is AMAZING. She really knows her stuff and put me at ease regarding a terrifying experience. I feel confident in my decision not only of the surgery but of the surgeon.

Well, it has been a while.  And quite frankly, I feel like a dog with my tail tucked between my legs.  I couldn't tell you my current weight, but I can tell you that I never got to 100lbs lost.  I am also beginning to gain it back, although I am doing nothing different than I have done before.  I have done some reading of the long term success rates of RNY and for those that were in the super morbidly obese category (me!) they are not good.  The pouch stretches and the absorption rate increases.  So, this being said, I am regaining now like crazy.  I have now resorted back to crash dieting and trying to keep off as much as I can.  I have had enough!  I am depressed and I feel like a failure. 

I have been looking into revision maybe to tighten it up and through this I have found out about the Duodenal Switch procedure.  I wish I had known about this prior to having my surgery.  This sounds like the procedure I should have had to begin with.  I have an appointment with doctor Anthone in NE on the 17th.  I am very nervous because I can't help but think he will tell me it is all my fault and he can't help.  Thereby dooming me to a life of morbid obesity.  I have talked to a few of his other patients who swear that he would never do that and that he is a great doctor with amazing bedside manner.  I guess I will find out.

I know when and if he agrees to do the surgery I will be staying in the hospital for almost a week and then I will have to stay in town for an additional week so that I can meet with him.  After that I can head back home to MO and have occasional check ups with him.  I chose him due to his feedback and the fact that he has tons of experience with this procedure.  His office staff was super nice when I called and I hope that is just the beginning of a very supportive office. 

My husband has been nothing but supportive (I have an amazing husband).  He is now supporting my decision to look into the DS revision.  He will do anything for me as long as it makes me happy and I love him so much for being non judgemental and really having my back regardless of situation.

I plan to get back into being active on the boards and updating this blog, so hopefully it will go off rather boring and uneventful and I can get my life back on track :)

One day at a time...
