Topic: Revision
Hello everyone, its been a while... I had a VBG September of 2005, this was the only type of weight loss surgery I could get, I was part of the Kelsey Seybold system in Houston. I have had a hard time with keeping food down and having a slow weight loss history, I have lost 115 pounds, but am still shy of the extra 50 I needed to lose. After countless Doctor visits and no diagnosis I left Kelsey Seybold and found a great Doctor. I just got out of the hospital with a diagnosis of Gastric Outlet Obstruction, Gastroparesis, Gastritis and Enlarged proximal gastric pouch. I have to have a revision to RNY next week. Does anyone have any information on these conditions? Has anyone had the same issues? I'm nervous about the revision because of all the complications I have had, I am so tired of being sick all the time.
Thanks!
Katrina

Topic: RE: Anyone ever tried Alli to loose last 20 lbs...
Hi SHannon,
Thanks for your reply and I have to agree with you - it's good to hear someone's "sound" response - time to go back to basics...it's worked before! Good luck to you too!!!
Topic: RE: Anyone ever tried Alli to loose last 20 lbs...
Hi Susan, I have not tried Alli... and I personally wouldn't go back to any weight loss medications being post-op. My surgeon and his team made it very clear to me that they don't support or condone any weight loss medications even prescription ones. With that being said, I see what Alli does to non-ops (my hubby and good friend) were taking them and lordy be, they couldn't stay out of the bathroom at all, and had many "Alli Oops" accidents in their undergarments.
I have had to step back from my own downfalls when it came my eating, and I would always go back to basics. I recommend going back to basics, and even in small changes is great progress.
I hope this helps.
GOOD LUCK! We are in this together!
