You can read my profile for my experience with wls.  It's all good now but it's been 1yr. 3 mos.

just read my profile page

Yeph - I have severe chronic life threatening anemia (few people know the chronic severe anemia can lead to heart attacks.). It is a result of my wls. (I had anemia before surgery and my current doctor said due to that I should have never been approved for an RNY)
And - I have ulcers forming on a regular basis at the reconnection site. Unfortunately, due to rubbing inside my stomach they tend to start bleeding. And when you have anemia, internal bleeding is really bad as you can die quickly from it.
Been in the hospital 3 times now due to internal bleeding.
Complications can occur even years after - I would NOT do it again if I had the choice.

The last several months have been fairly busy ones here at OH and we are really excited
about this upcoming release. First, long overdue is the public release of OH Groups. You
will now be able to start and  manage your own public groups. Second, is a major update
to Health Tracker....Activity! We are planning to release these new features on Wednesday evening, October 7, 2009.

OH Groups

Getting to OH Groups is easy. Just click on the Groups tab at the top of any page on ObesityHelp. OH Groups allows you to start and manage your own groups, you can find groups that suit your interests and find support groups in your area.

If you are looking for an OH Group that focuses on a specific topic, you can browse groups by category.

 

Activity

To get to your Activity Tracker, click “My OH" at the top of any page on ObesityHelp, select “Health Tracker" on the left and then click the “Activity" tab.

Understanding your total daily caloric expenditure requires more than just knowing how many calories you burned on the treadmill. In your Health Tracker settings area you are now able to estimate the caloric expenditure of your resting metabolic rate (RMR) and lifestyle. These estimates are integrated and displayed with the caloric expenditure of the activities you have logged.

Your exercise log allows you to search for and add strength training exercises, cardiovascular exercises and general activities to your daily log. Caloric expenditure is auto calculated for a number of activities already included in our database of exercises. Pie charts display details about caloric expenditure and time for each type of activity.

Sets can be added and subtracted from strength training exercises. Reps and weight used can be entered for each set.

A number of details can be tracked for cardiovascular exercises and general activities. Some of these variables include, time, distance, calories burned, average heart rate, average power, altitude gained and average grade.

If you can’t find the exercise or activity you have participated in, you can also add your own custom exercises.

Other updates include the ability to create list of your favorite exercises, reports have been updated to include a number of activity items, the nutrition search has been enhanced and we have managed to slip in a sweet macronutrient report under the “Reports" tab. If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the features in this release, please submit those here. If your are new to ObesityHelp or have not used ObesityHelp's Health Tracker before, you can learn about the first release here and the second release here. Need help using Health Tracker?

I have had this problem too. I came to this site to post and saw your message. I had one fill and have had nothing but trouble since. I now have about 2.5 cc in my band (less than surgery level) and still have trouble keeping things down. I get pain after I eat and sometimes make myself thow up to releive the pain. I am now experiencing severe heartburn and choking at night.
I have been waiting to call the dr. but now that I see your post I think I have too. I have questioned if I'me eating too fast/or too much, but i think it might be too much stricture. Mine has been going on for a week. I have not taken in very much food and throw up at least once a day.
