everything seemed fine , had gastric 2008, lost close around 150 pounds, then all  of a sudden start gaining weight and hungry all the time.  Hungrier than I was before I had my gastric done.  Had upper GI done, and find out I have a G-G fistula.  So now I am scheduled to have surgery next month. has anyone had the same thing and if so will I be going through the same as before , I do know my surgeon said I will have a drainage tube out my side which I didnt have any drainage tubes the first time.

God bless everyone on their journey to a healthier life!!

At the top of the forum page there's a search box. I typed in GG fistula and there was a couple post on it, maybe that will help you.
