RNY in 2004, great results, went from 230 to 135. Felt great, looked great until..............about 2006 the weight started creeping up. Now at 210 and miserable. Went thru all that hard work, just to gain it back. Feel like a failure. I think that everyone that has known we thru the whole process thinks I'm a failure.
Went to see Dr Maguire, he was in practice with my RNY dr, but not now. Long story I'm sure, don't want to know it, don't care, just know it didn't work for me. Well, Kim, Dr. Maguire's nurse (she is the best) and Dr Maguire said they have seen this before and gave me hope with a revision. So, I have good insurance, BC/BS Fed, I am now scheduled for the revision surgery June 8.
Don't really relish going thru another surgery, but like they say, once you've been to the promised lands, there's no going back. Not sure if the weight gain caused the depression or the depression didn't help the weight gain. But the last couple of years have been hell, gaining back the weight, being depressed and angry at myself all the time. Why can't I do something right for a change. Why do I have to be the one that has the weight gain? I've beat myself up so much over this, it has caused problems with my job performance, family relationships, etc. I just want to go back to 135 lbs. If this revision doesn't work for me I really don't know what I'll do.
