Hi, I am having to have my proceedure reversed. Should happen within the next 2 or 3 weeks. I can not gain any weight and contnue to lose. I pass out alot, have no energy look bad and feel bad all the time. I am eating everything as told and trying to eat more but my stomach is still only 8 oz's after almost 2 yr's. I am scared of dying and now I'm even more so with the risks of having this done.But, it is for my health to do it, just as it was to have it done the first time. If anyone has gone through this, PLEASE let me know. I can't even sit against anything without a pillow behind my back, there is no meat on my spine, my bone's are going, I am having to have a surgery on my knee. I can't even lay on my side's without a pillow between my knee's or the bone's hurt my legs and leave brusies.My hair used to be half way down my back and now it is barely to my shoulder's. Dr Huse is a great doctor, he said it is just the way my body is dealing with it.I hope all I have learnt will get me through this after wards.I would look and feel good at 220, I just want to feel better. For everyone having surgery, good luck and don't let my story discourage you, everyone is differant !

Cindy, I do wish you all the best during and after the surgery. You are the first that I know of who is actually having a reversal. They were debating on it when I had my intestine problem in October but they were able to get the blood back into them without doing that. Most of the time when you see someone talking about wanting a reversal, it's because they don't want to drink the water or protein or they hate that initial 6 weeks. I am curious..how tall are you? Is your signature line up-to-date? I'm at 145 & 5'6" so it's hard to imagine how tall you must be for 152 to have such a negative effect unless you are like our Marianne and close to 6' tall. She would also be skin & bones if she was anywhere near 150 pounds. You know, many people (me, me) goes into this thing with the belief that the risks & complications that go along with this only happens to the 'other person' or that it would only happen if you don't do what you are suppose to. That really isn't the case! I've had several. Right now, my intestines are escaping through a huge hernia. I've had loose stools since Oct. 6th. I eat a ton of food every day just to keep my weight stable. If I gain a pound, all I have to do is NOT eat my midnight stack to lose it plus another one! At least with my problem, we know what is causing it and are (fingers crossed) reasonably sure that my hernia repair (March 3rd) will correct it. I never intend to scare anyone from having the WLS..but I do believe they should enter into it with their eyes wide open and knowing that there are far more issues that can pop up days, weeks, months, and even years after you have your WLS done. I'm sorry you've gone through this. Thank you for sharing with us. Sherri

Sherry 'Sorry about what is going on  with you, hopefully they will get it taken care of with surgery. I am actually 6ft, and yes I am skin and bone's. I feel bad 99% of the time. I get so sick of people telling me how bad I look, I don't even like to look in the mirror at myself.Funny, I used to get disgusted looking into one when I was obese. My family is worried about me and I have been the family talk for about 9 months now. I've had to move in with my son and daughter n law, I still have a 16 yr old daughter to finish raising as well. I just am not able to stay by myself or it just being myself and my daughter, she is scared she'll find me dead. This has taken such a toll on me and the family and friend's. Good luck to you and thank you for your post. Yes, my weight is current as of Monday. God Bless
