When I came out here, someone recommended Dr. Michael Underhill from Paseo Docs.  He is in Glendale.  It's around 57th St north of Bell.  I really like him.  Haven't had any WLS issues to discuss.  I really do like him.

So, is anyone still around that I know?

I just had my 6 years post-op anniversary on 03/20/12. I haven't popped in to Obesity help for some time.

How is everyone?

hey were is the pcp that you go to?

I'm having the same issue. I had RNY with Dr. Burpee in Tucson at Northwest Medical Center in June 2009. I was 420 at surgery, my lowest was 200 in 2010 and now I'm back up to 265. I'm really frustrated with myself and I've been looking into the revision message boards here.

Revisions are something that your particular doctor will have to advise you on. Many people have had success with a lap band over an RNY, and others recommend a switch to a DS, but that is more tricky and less doctors perform that procedure.

As for myself, before I go down the revision route I need to:
1. Get back on track with daily exercise. This is difficult with my work schedule, but I can't make excuses.
2. Eat healthy. Though I can't eat as much as I did before, I am now able to drink with meals and eat sugar without too many issues.
3. Realize that losing weight is difficult. My genetics are against me, I have PCOS, an apple body shape, and my body loves to hold on to calories. I have to accept that I will never likely be below a size 18 or have a flat tummy (I'm 5'10"). Accepting things we can't change is so hard, but we must have courage to change the things we can.
