Decided to have RNY in 2005. I was at my heaviest 500 lbs.  Surgery was in May and two years out I had only gotten down to about 330 lbs and I was not satisfied. I felt like I could eat large quantities of food. Went back to my doctor and ask for a revision which he gave me in 2007. He bypassed more of my intestinal tract and put a permanent band around my pouch. Within two years I was down to 183 pounds which the doctor said was too low for my frame and height. I'm 6 foot 2 inches tall. I was vomiting almost everything I was eating and the doctor threatened to either remove the band or put a feeding tube in. Instead I decided to learn how to eat and I pretty much have been successful ever since. However in the last year or two I have gained approximately 65 lbs and really want to get it off so I'm on this website to get some information and motivation to get back on track. Thank you for reading my story.
