So was your pouch leaking? How did they fix it?

Thanks Severman.

what types of symptoms did you have that signaled the leak? 

Sorry, I don't/didn't. I almost went with St. V in 2008, but my insurance at the time didn't cover WLS. Once I had insurance that did, I decided to go with the St. Francis WLC on the south side, since I live down here. I am/was quite pleased with them. They took care of everything for me; insurance, making sure I had and did every thing I needed to do to meet my insurance requirements, psychologist on staff, etc. If you live close enough, you might want to give them a try. Their information is 

Address: 5230 E Stop 11 Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46237

Phone:(317) 528-7525

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck. Congratulations on making the decision to change your life.

Hi there. I didn't have the RNY and I'm still in the VSG honeymoon period, but I've read about others who are in the same position you're in. The advice that's usually given to them is to go back to the beginning diet and start over. (If you don't have it, try calling your doc's office and see if they'll give you another copy.) If you still have the diet plan that your doctor gave you after surgery, follow that. Eat your protein first. Toss the carbs, there'll be a withdrawal period, but ride it out. Weigh and track every single thing you eat, even if it isn't in your diet plan. (I use the myfitnesspal app on my phone.) Hold yourself accountable.

I also weigh myself every single morning and log it into the MFP app. Some people say not to be a slave to the scale, but I find that weighing every day helps me to keep myself in check.

I also suggest that you try posting in the RNY forums since there is likely to be more people there who understand what you're going through and know the best way to get yourself turned around.

Good luck!
((Hugs))
