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!
You should post on the RNY forum. This one is not really active.
I am a newbie and will be getting the RNY on Dec 12th. I am a little afraid because a Dr will have their hands in my guts. Just looking for friends. Thanks wheezl
I had my surgery in 2000. I have gained all my weight back. I Can eat anything. I Do however, if i eat potatoes i get full faster. im 60 by the way. I never took the vitamins and never drink water so I'm paying for it now. I have b12, vit d difficientcy. So because of that i have a lot of medical problems. I wish i had never had the surgery. At one time when i ate i would have a lot of pain. But it went away. Hope your doing better
Hello I got my fobi pouch when I was 16 years old I am now 42 years old. I initially weighed 260 pounds went down to 90 pounds but was really anemic. Now I am 200 pounds, after I got married I gained weight lol. I have always ate whatever I wanted, and yes sometimes I throw up, but not that much. Now for some reason I'm getting fuller fast. Like a month ago my husband and I decided to started eating garlic to be healthier. And smart me ate a garlic clove, I swallowed it. After that I couldn't eat or drink that much for a whole week. Then it got better. Friday I got an endoscopy done and they diagnosed me with gastric outlet obstruction which they did a dilation with a ball on they said. Since yesterday I've noticed I could only eat a little less. Sorry just told you my whole life story. But my question is like how much do you eat in a day and how are your portions. Is there stuff you can't eat. I eat, and if i try to drink I kind of feel the water in my throat then I burp and I feel much better. I also suffer from anxiety and depression so I don't know if this has alott to do do with this as well. Thank you for reading my post. And I hope to hear from you soon.
I still suffer with vomiting and I am 8 years out as well. Personally, I know that if they took the ring off for me I would gain all the weight back. I had gained about 20lbs since my lowest weight over 7 years and I was forced to do an elimination diet for autoimmune issues for a month and I dropped 12 lbs the first month and 8 more pounds over the next 2 months. After the first 3 weeks I didn't follow it to a tee, but on a daily basis I try to avoid gluten and anything processed. Just like everyone else I do eat candy and snacks, but I make sure the calories are worth it (as in I am going to LOVE this when I eat it, not just I kind of want it....) and every day I start out being good so that if I feel like cheating I can really evaluate if the cheat is going to be worth it or if I can let the craving pass until next time.
I have kept that 20lbs off for over a year now and some of my autoimmune issues have gone away. It's worth trying
First I would suggest you detox, then start eating healthy I do 6 meals a day, oviously very small portions and it helps a ton..I had my surgery 2/9/09 started at 242lbs and I have successfully maintained my weight below 145 ever since! Good luck girlie :)

I had surgery (Fobi) 15 years ago and I have severe eating issues as well. I am nauseated all the time and throw up almost every thing. I have taken anti nausea meds for the past 15 years with no relief. It is so bad now that I shy away from food. I have pulled ribs all the time because of the dry heaving and vomiting. Someone should have answers for this. I don't eat much....too fast...or anything. My hubby is so used to it now it gets me depressed.
