In May 2011 I had to have revision of my RNY due to severe ulcers. The surgery was supposed to get rid of ulcers and make it where they likely wouldn't recur. However, 2 mos post revision I had ulcers again.  :(   I am so upset. Jan. 31st I just had a reversal/ take down of my RNY. I am so emotional over all this. I don't know how to handle this. I feel like a failure. Plus dealing with the pain/nausea and some vomiting of the healing process. Anyone else experienced this or had to have a complete reversal?

Oh bless your heart. It is a hard hard journey. I am so sorry you are suffering so. I know how it is. I am now 3 wks post op and doing ok. I am very emotional. Bless your heart. I will pray for you. I can not imagine having to live on a feeding tube. Is your original surgeon helping you....or have they passed you on to someone else? Btw, I notice your user name is 2doxies2 love.....I am assuming you have 2 doxies! I have 6!!! Well, 5 and one chi-weenie. I have done dachshund rescue for 4 yrs now and love it. They are dolls! Hang in there and let me know if you need someone to chat with that understands. Been there, done that and hated it.
