14 months out from RNY to DS revision
I no longer feel like a FAILURE!!!!! I am a success!!!! I now possess the right tool to remain healthy for the rest of my life!!!!
After 18 months with my RNY, it was like a switch was flipped, no matter what I did the weight kept piling back on. I stabilized with an 80 pound regain and my weight was at 230 for years.
Due to my ruined metabolism, the RNY was not the best surgery for me. The DS was.
