How is your health now? Are you able to exercise at all? With the exception of the exercise, have you attempted to go back to square one to see if that helps?
I assume that since you originally chose RNY you felt you wanted or needed malabsorption. I think the band might be a waste of time.
I suggest you contact Dr. Dennis Smith in Marietta regarding a revision if you feel that you have exhausted all of your options regarding getting the bypass to work for you.

I just don't know if my PCP will still be my PCP! I have no idea how Medicaid works, so I'm in research mode. Mom heard about me being dropped yesterday, so I'm in a mini-fenzy.
I'm not a state employee, so I was thinking this doesn't apply to me . . . I've seen great things from Peachtree Bariatrics, so I'll search over that way as well.
Great things from Peachtree Bariatrics??? Perhaps you should research further!!!
I would not recommend the band to my worst enemy. I don't think fobi is a good option either. Research the DS if you want to revise.
What part of GA are u in?

my doc has suggested to look into lap Band and called a doctor he's referring me to, but since I had RNY should I look to have the FOBI added to it instead? This is just as confusing as it was when I initially was going through surgery.

I'm a bit frustrated and in a lot of pain - but since I am one that really trusts my ortho, I'm going to do what he tells me to see what (if anything) will help.
I had RNY in 2004 and I guess I need to find out what needs to happen at this point....
Thoughts and suggestions are welcomed!
