Hello everyone. I am new here. I had the RNY in August 2013. I lost 100 pounds only to gain approximately 150 back. I honestly feel that my medications in part contributed to the regain. I can pinpoint to approximately 2016 as to when my regain started. My mother passed away after sitting in the hospital for 3 weeks waiting for her to pass. I was traumatized by this. I am a RN and have been a nurse for 21 years but had never had anyone that close to me pass or been in the position of waiting. I had always been the healthcare professional. If that makes sense. Anyway I started to have panic attacks and was started on Buspar and abilify also got with my antidepressant Effexor. I have had adjustments made with increases in the meds since then.
Anywho I am looking to get a revision but am uncertain which would be best for me the DS or have the RNY revision. The program that I would like to use does not offer the DS. This program is only an hour away. The program that does offer it is approximately 2 1/2 hours away. Any suggestions?

My iron has shifted over the years. Pre DS I suffered from generic anemia occasionally. Post op I took oral supplements for a number of years and was fine. Then I wasn't. For 7 years I was on quarterly infusions, thankfully tolerated it well and was fine. Then the iron numbers crept up and I went off the infusions. Been on the Multi Gen breckenridge supplement for 10+ years and am fine, but I watch it. Take your iron and a vitamin c supplement all by it's self. No calcium in particular within 2 hours either side. Wa**** down with lots of water to aid absorption.
I just ordered my supply today from amazon. Look for Solaray Vitamin E, Dry 400 IU. hey also have 1,000IU
I looked at those an Amazon and noticed the 1000 mg are soft gel caps. Look carefully!
Have you been diagnosed with Lipedema? It's a fat disease that makes it hard for people to lose weight. I would try to do some research on it. Some insurance companies are now paying for liposuction for people with this diagnosis.
Oh I'm sorry you are going through this, I sent you a PM.

Can I ask- how long ago was your original surgery? How old are you? I am having similar problems 17 years later.
Why so lo cal? I thought DS was supposed to allow for normal eating. 1000cal is very low.
yes you can revise from SADI, loop to BPD-DS. I will send my a PM

Same here. I have to be so careful. Most toothpastes even have sugar alcohols (itols). They absolutely tear up my stomach since my DS.
