RNY Reversal

If you truly are clinically underweight and still losing, then you may need to consider a reversal (but I agree with what the other responders have said).  The problem is that the vast majority of surgeons who are trained to do a RNY are not trained to reverse one.  That procedure is more complex with a higher risk of complications, so you certainly don't want a surgeon who has only done one making you his second patient!

One of the other members here posted a list of surgeons who do reversals in a similar thread just a little while ago.  You can probably find it if you use the search function at the top of the page.

I'm sorry you are becoming ill.  I hope you can halt the weight loss soon.  Usually, when people increase their carbs and fat, they are able to stop losing.

Thank you Lora. I am underweight at 106lbs with a bmi under 17-18 and a body fat percentage around 14 or a little below. For my weight and height and age, I need to be at a minimum of 24%. Believe me when Ii say I am eating everything, exercising none (except to walk), am weak, don't have the strength to do anything. I have never looked worse in my life and I feel like I am wasting away to nothing. It is very discouraging to be eating (and journaling everything) like I have been and step on the scale to see that I have lost a couple more pounds overnight. I know how many calories I am taking in and I am meeting my protein, fluid goals. Went on a trip with my husband last week and intentionally ate things I wouldn't normally eat, just to boost my calories and came home and within a day had lost all that I had gained and a 3 pounds more. I ate bakery items, chips, ribs, alcoholic beverages. lemonade, ensure plus regular yogurt, full fats, etc., in addition to my minimum nutrition goals. I don't necessarily want a reversal, but I do want to get better and gain and maintain a decent weight near 130.

Sorry you are not feeling well. I hope the weight loss stops very soon for you, and no drastic measures will need to be taken such as a reversal. 

What about Creon?  Also, how many protein shakes do you drink per day?  We had one lady on the DS forum who was like you and nothing worked.  She started drinking 6 shakes a day and eating whatever she wanted.  She did gain back about 25-30 pounds and is doing very well now.  But, shakes are her mainstay.

I am not familiar with Creon but I will look it up. I have been drinking unjury, eating pure protein bars and using EAS shakes.

Thanks,

I have known many who could not stop losing and were too skinny during second year. All of them stopped losing and then gained during third year.
