Update on 2/28 Surgery
Mar 05, 2012
Last tuesday was going in for laporscopic revision from RNY that should have been done at 3:30pm. Plan was to bypass 150 more cm's of interestines and make stomach smaller if necessary. After an hour trying Laproscopic they had to open me up due intestinal issues ans an enormous amnt of scar tissue so didn"t get out of surgery till 6:30pm. Anyway hanging in there but the pain is terrible.

I wanted to reintroduce myself to the Forum. I had Open RNY in August of 2004. Starting weight 435 lbs. My lowest weight was 242 and over the past couple years have become immobile with back injuries and my weight creeped back up to 328. I have seen surgeons for my back. They say I have 5 things wrong with my low back including a buldging disc, arthritis, spinal stenosis & degeneration None of which is severe enough to be fixed surgically so im told to lose weight and excercise. lol Which is funny because some days I can barely walk to the bathroom so Finally find a Bastric Bypass Surgeon who is willing to do a revision & takes my insurance which was a problem in itself.
Dr. Nahmias believes in 2nd chances, and thats what im being given. They are planning to bypass more intestines & make the pouch smaller. aim really nervous. Anyone who has the basics of the bariatric diet would be helpful. Anyone who has had surgery at St. Francis ? Any words of wisdom or advice is welcomed. Ive been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and im already down to 292 so going in the right direction. Has anyone had their GBS with Dr. Nissin Nahmias. He is wonderful and really wants to help me. Hoping the weightloss will take the pressure off my back. Thats the goal, and if it doesnt then we continue with the back specialists. Just want tomorrow to be here.
