I noticed that my surgery date is 2009, not 2011. I am not great with dates, never have been.
I had stomach ulcers that ruptured my pouch. I have to take a pill, twice a day for the rest of my life to reduce the acid in my pouch.
Before I had the rupture, I felt constantly sick to my stomach, pain, couldn't eat, and kept telling doctors about it. Not one listened. They still don't.
I go on ....with covid being here, it has gotten worse. Can't find my doctor anywhere. I guess people stopped needing medical attention.
Sorry for downer post, but there hasn't been any support from anywhere. That is why I posted. There are probably hundreds more like me, that need it also.
Whoa! What do you mean by RNY rupture? I'm glad you made it. OH man. Scary stuff.

Hi fellow Ontarion,
Had my surgery August 2011 in Michigan. My highest 315, current 168. It hasn't been easy, had a ruptured RNY in 2015 which almost killed me, came through that, 2017 had a major hernia repair and a tummy tuck. I had complications, took me a couple of years to get over that. I haven't had any regain, my family doctor follows my health.
For everything I have gone through, I can honestly say I am happy with my outcome. I still have other health issues, but I deal with it. I live day by day.....

I had rny on May 3 2002. After 9 months, I had lost 117 lbs. I was down to 145, size 8-10. Looked sallow and sunken and my hair was falling out, so I started eating ice cream and pie and fattening foods, a little at a time during the day. Gained 3-5 pounds each year, hardly noticeable except I went to 10-12 size and my face plumped up nicely. I felt fine, looked great, and kept gaining just a little each year. 18 years later, I am up to 183 and a sweet tooth, craving for bad foods, and no real resistance from the rny. It's like it never happened.
I wish I could give you advice. I need it myself. Wishing you all the best.

I called Hrrh and they said this year the appointments are on the phone. Who's going to measure my belly? Hmph!

Hey :-)
14 plus years out. I?ve been up 27 lbs above goal and the way to get back down is about reeling yourself in and making yourself accountable.
it?s all nutrition and food choices. It?s going to be about being real with yourself. Weight loss is always possible but it?s going to require honesty with yourself about how we have to eat as a bariatric patient, holding yourself accountable and food prepping and planning. I don?t eat radically to lose. I focus on whole foods and protein first. I eat all food groups.
When you?re ready, you can do it. No lectures here. Just the real life ups and downs of post bariatric life. No magic. Just hard work and consistency.
good luck
Dawn

Hi! I had surgery April 2016. I lost all my weight and then some and currently play with +/- 5 lbs on any given day.
Yes, you should stop eating chips! The struggle is real! Mmmmm I love chips. I do eat them occasionally but try to limit. I little hack I use it just to buy the variety packs and only eat 1 one little bag as a snack as opposed to opening a family size bag and not knowing when to put them down.
I must admit that since the pandemic I have not been going to the gym and wish I could go back. Not for weightloss but general health and well being.
Hang in there. Go for your three year check up and take whatever advise and tips they have to share with you.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will not be a Fall Exchange this year.
Hang onto those bags of clothes and we'll hope that next May can happen!!!
