9 months out
Oct 01, 2012
I am 9 months out from my failed RNY to DS revision.
My highest weight was 317.
My RNY pre-op weight was 298, February 26, 2002. I got down to 150. never reached a normal BMI. I stayed at 150 for about 2 days, before my body started to regain, no matter WHAT I did!!!! It settled in at 230. For the next 8 years, thinking I was the failure.
My pre-op DS weight was 263
I am 196 today. Minus 67 pounds.
Dr. Keshishian said (regarding hernia's) that with the hernias like I have that the food sits in the gi tract longer so I am absorbing the calories as it can't move its way thru quickly like it should with the DS.
I started with a pants size of a SUPER TIGHT 20 and am now in a 12/14
My tops were a 1X and now I am in a medium.
I also had my 9 month labs drawn yesterday.
I had a very bumpy recovery, but I am happy to say, I hope that is all behind me, and smooth sailing ahead.
Winter has nearly arrived here, and some parts of me feel like I have "wasted" my summer taking it easy, and trying not to overdo it with my HUGE ventral hernia, as I waited for my surgical repair. I get my stitches out this coming week. Pictures in "my photos" to your left.
