Big Medicine Tonight!
Hi:
I watched Big Medicine last night and was particularly interested in the young lady who was 18 months out or so, and was having a problem with regain. She had an upper GI and it was determined that her pouch and outlet were normal. Her regain was simply due to eating the wrong foods, amounts of foods, and not exercising! It showed me how easy it is to fall back into bad habits!! It was encouraging in the fact that many of us with regains probably have NOT "ruined" our pouches!! I have been battling a regain of about 15 lbs, and it made me realize that the surgery has not failed me, I have failed my pouch by getting back into poor eating habits!! There is hope for alot of us, without revision surgery being needed. It means getting back into our proper habits, and maybe even getting some counseling to deal with the real issues behind our regains. DeeAnn
