REVISION OF MY RNY

Jan 20, 2014

I have been having bleeding ulcers and scaring of the opening into my pouch and  I have my pouch stretched often.  I can not eat meat, salads or any raw fruit.  I have been bad at eating soft higher calorie food.  My doctor said to prevent the ulcers and scaring he would do a revision making the opening larger and the pouch smaller because to get the two to heal he has to make new clean cuts.  He also said he would put me on RX for the rest of my life to keep ulcers from forming.  

My questions are, what prevents the opening from scaring over again, will I be able to eat healthy meats, salads and raw fruit in time or will I be right where I am again.  I am 8 1/2 years out from my original surgery.  Was 320  and maintaining 226.  I would like to be back at 170 as I was for about 1 year after my original surgery.  

If any of you have had this experience what did you find helpful?  Revision or just try protein drinks forever and exercise?
