Hello OH family! Its has been much to long since I hv updated,, Yet please let me say.. IT has been a challenge..I'll try to make this short. I had gotten dwn to 240-245 lbs.. then around Jan 2009 I had started to gain my weight back.. I was so concerned. I md a appt with my WLS doc.. which my orginal doc . Dr Arnold was no longer @ the loc. A new doc had taken his place A Doc Kennedy.. I explain to her. that I had been under some stress & was now able to eat more. I had already spkn to the dietician and we had went over what I needed to do to restart weightloss.. they did a Bairum test & noted I had no restriction from the emptying of my pouch. thats why I was always hungry & able to eat more. She advise me of a new procedure. (not sure of the clinical name & not covered undr insurance.) its where the doc goes in thru the throat. and inject sm thing to narrow the exit way of the pouch so the food wld stay in the pouch longer so there for you won't get hungry so qkly. I had that done on 1-16-09. only lost 10 lbs. that was b/c I was on liquids for 1 wk...then I was able to eat again I begain to gain. there was a co wkr of mine that also had bypass bk in 04. & she was going to hv surgery for a hernia & she was talking abt how awesome her Dr.. was!! Dr John Alexander..I knew there was something else going on. which after seeg Dr Alexander & explaind that after I eat I wld hv this pain in my upper stomach & then hv to throw up.. the prev doc states it was gaubladder sludge.. but thats not what is was.. Dr Alexander did a EGD which confirmed I had a perforated Lwr intestine, that had strected & was acting as a stomach.( resultg the pain & eating more). I then had a revision on..
November 20, 2009!! Surgery went well.. also doc md my pouch smaller..Now home recov'g
Revison surgery date weight 280 lbs
Dec 1, 2009 .. dr. app.. weighed in @ 270 llbs....Thank You Jesus....I am back on track and looking forward to losing another 100 lbs plus, if Gods Will..!! I will try to put new pics up soon ..I am so thankful for this 2nd chance...There is Hope!!
