question about further surgery

I am seeing myt surgeon tomorrow to discuss surgery to attach my small bowel at a different location.   Since having an open RNY on May 4 I've been sick - unable to work and totally without energy.   I've been hospitalized three times for panic potassium levels, had upper and lower GIs, endoscopy and a feeding tube put in.   Now they tell me my small bowl is too short to absorb nutriants and  that's why I feel so bad.   He wants to open up the original incision and attach my stomach at a different point.  says recovery time is four to six weeks - but that's what he said about the RNY.   My question of course is does anyone know anything about this problem?  Mainly I want to make sure that this will fix the problem.  I have to get my life back.  The good news is I've lost 120 pounds.  The bad news is I can't walk more than 20 feet without needing to rest.  Reversing the RNY is not an option because I had severe bleeding ulcers and they removed a large portion of my stomach.  
     Thanks for any feedback.

Sharon,
I have had similar issues, though not nearly as extreme. If you'd like to see my journey please check out my blog. I truly wish I could have my RNY reversed (no medical reason why I can't unlike you, surgeon just wont!)

You are in my thoughts and I hope everything gets better....for both of us.
