I am about 5.5 months out from RnY and I was curious if any other have had problems with BAD due to gall bladder removal. I had my gall bladder removed 17 years ago and it has been pretty bad with the dumping syndrome and BAD. I am wondering if there are people out there that had BAD and then got WLS and did it make the BAD worse?
Last December 2017, I made stunning resolutions to lose weight? However, since the start of January 2017, such resolutions have not been made into reality. I have been struggling with obesity or unwanted pounds. I have found myself exhausted from exertion. I have been searching for the Fobi Pouch Gastric Bypass Surgery. What do you think, is it the proper treatment relief? Does anyone have any information about Renew Bariatrics? Does anyone have Gastric Sleeve Surgery done in Renew Bariatrics? Would you recommend it to me? Does anyone know any reviews on Renew Bariatrics?

Changed our Federal insurance plan from a very poor HMO in Las Vegas to a PPO plan (GEHA). Paid most of all costs.
What challenges did you have getting the insurance company to pay for the revision and how did you overcome them?
Are you going to support groups? It can't hurt! I had VBG in 2001 and failed. I had a revision in 2012 and have been @ goal for 4 years. Getting a revision was difficult, finding a Dr., then getting the Ins. to cover; but SO worth it!
I had Fobi pouch in May 1993. Now at 180 up & down a bit. had recent surgery for bowel blockage that's not really related to pouch. OK now. Eat most anything. Followed Dr Fobi's guideline for a few years and gradually added foods. Now no problems. Is Dr. Fobi, who actually did surgery, still practicing?
No regrets on having surgery - believe I'm still alive because of it. It's been 24 years. I've had cancer twice...last one was 6 years ago. I thank God for everyday. My husband very supportive then and still. Married 47 years.

Hi y'all. I am new to this forum and happy to be here.
I had the Fobi Pouch in 2001. I started out at 360 and after about a year got down to 150. Everything was going great until I figured out how to eat around the surgery..
It didn't take me long until I was back up to 308.
I have now been dieting for about 3 months and am down to 258
Since the surgery, I haven't been able to eat meat, raw vegetables, raw fruit..with the exception of bananas, strawberries and peaches.
I was still throwing up on an almost daily basis, until the new diet.
This is very embarrassing, but I know it's time to reach out.
Thank you. : )
