I am looking for help, support, and advise, as I am now 11 years post rny, and now am suffering with a 50% weight gain back, over the past 4 years.  I am suffering with severe reflux, intermittent belching, and ability to eat larger meals. I am considering a revision, but worry that I might be a lost cause..... feeling sad, defeated and likely to be back where I started in no time.

Eating...(stupid tablet)  too much at one time may cause reflux and belching and weight gain.  But those also could be signs of things going badly.  It may be good idea to see a doc and run some tests to find out what is going on and if you pouch and stoma are still OK. 

If they are - then going back to basics may help you get back on track and lose the regain.

what do you mean by wasting?  also.... thanks for the falling down words of wisdom... I have a call in to my team.... just feeling terrible especially saying I had my surgery in 2003... I did so well for the first 7 years !!  I miss that.

Eating...(not wasting - stupid tablet)

You may have developed fistula (connection between the pouch and the stomach) - that would explain the hunger and ability to eat more, plus belching.. 

belching also may indicate liver issue...- (do you still have GB?)  or bad diet...may cause both - acid issue - weight gain and belching..
