Thanks for the replies. I have made an appointment for a seminar with a doctors that does revisions close to my home. Today I called St Vincent in Carmel to see what they have to offer. A nurse is going to be calling me back. Dr Inman is the physician that I would like to see. She does the DS. Actually she was supposed to be my original surgeon but at the time she decided to only be affiliated with one hospital and it wasn't the one I had to go to. Even though it is a drive I want to talk to her and see what she says. As for getting off my medication for anxiety and depression I have no idea. I don't see a specialist. There are none around me. Just my PCP.

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?
