It has been a very long time since I've logged-on to the forums. I became pregnant about 3 years after the surgery (NOT planned), and had to rethink everything about eating again, as I was living everyday eating only 1,200 calories; when I found out I was pregnant, I knew I had to "recondition" my eating patterns to increase the caloric intake for the sake of my unborn child.  That meant going into "fat-girl eating-mode".  I gained up to 215 lbs at the time I gave birth, and he was a healthy baby.  Now, he is almost 4 years old, and I've spent the last several years trying to lose the weight...until July, 2012 (last year).

July, 2012, I developed another ulcer at the anastomosis - this was the 8th time in 9 years that I developed an ulcer.  I think it's because I have smoked on and off for those years, not to mention being prescribed and taking Meloxicam (nsaid) for 7 months.  

July, 2012-May 1, 2013 - Dilatation 5 times; continued immediate stricturing.

January, 2013 - April, 2013 - Stinted twice -  1st one that dislodged and into intestines; 4 weeks later - colonoscopy by amazing gastroenterologist that had "tools" and patience of Job - took him almost 3 hours to retrieve the stint. (that saved me surgery) 

September, 2012 - just last week - on liquids only
