silastic ring?
P.S. the NP at the surgeon's office said that my surgeon reccommends it because about 20% of RNY patients stretch out after 2yrs. That is the only info she gave me.
Thanks,

Questions!! I ot the silastic ring done 12 years ago. I have vomiting issues weekly-if not daily. It's so unpredictable--can be a sip of a soft drink...or a cracker--I just never know when it's gonna hit. Does anyone else have this problem? i'm wondering what I should do--it's been going on forever--I moved right after the surgery and never had any follow up visits. I know I need to go to a doc about it--just wondering if this is just how it goes after surgery??? Anyone else having this problem?
Hi there I had ring with my gastric in 2004. Over time I think it can become eroded and cause issues. I lost over 100 lbs in first year, in 2016 I gained some belly weight due to bad food choices. I do vomit with chicken, other meats like that and was worried. I have lost 25 lbs the healthy way in 9 weeks and am a good 175 on 7/6/17 (Plexus). I go in Friday 7/14 for EDG to prep for ring removal. It's a foreign thing I want out to prevent Esophageal cancer or only being able to drink my meals in future years!!! My experience!
