I too would love to hear of someone who has had Roux-n-Y, that had a revision to include the Fobi Ring.  I began at 351, lost down to around 190 lbs now is back up to 258 lbs.  No matter what I do, I can't get the pounds out.  I just recently heard about the Fobi Ring and it seem like a light at the end of the tunnel for people like me. 

My surgeon retired. I found a new doctor because I was very concerned about gradual weight gain over the last 4 year (8 years post-op) and vomiting from eating meats. My new doctor wants to remove my rings. He said that it will help me eat meat, but I am afraid of gaining more weight. He said that this is a possibility and after 6-12 months we can revisit a revision.

The vomiting is inconvenient sometimes, but I have become a pro at handling it when it happens. I really was only complaining about the vomiting because I wanted an excuse for a revision for my insurance company. I went from 350lbs. to 165 to 233. I have plateaued here for the last year, but this plateau comes with only eating an average of 1200-1500 calories per day. On days that I exercise, I will allow myself up to 1800 calories per day. I am doing 30 minutes of cardio (jogging or elliptical) 3 times per week and weights 2-3 times per week. I count every calorie in an app. I have even taken to meal replacements, medifast or protein shakes, for lunch to help get things moving. Nothing.

Has anyone removed their ring? I am so afraid to do this!

I hope you get some answers soon, :(

a  later I had theFOBIv POUCH performed by Dr. Cellio Burrowes in . At this point in time I cannot eat one bite of food without being so sick its not even funny.  I used to know that I could only eat very small amounts fruits vegetables and seafood.Now I can Not eat a very small amount of Anything without being immediately sick.  his office will not answer my calls they do not even acknowledge that I was ever a patient.I fear death like so many patients before. I don't know what to do.

I am two years out from surgery my highest weight was 265 and my lowest is 159. I have gain up to 185 over the last year. I am having a lot of trouble eating meats especially Beef also eggs makes me feel like I am dying now when I eat them. I have been eating a lot of carbs because it doesn't make me sick.  Any suggestions. Protein shake are now making me nauseous I think because I have drank them so much. Has anyone had this problem. Also I stay HUNGRY all the time. I have even started drink Soft drink just to get some sugar in me that I think I am lacking
