long termers from Barix having problems now?

wondering if anyone is having problems with their RNY now and how BTC or Barix is handling them now....I'm  wondering how my tool is working and have gain 30lbs in the last 2 years of my RNY 1999. The nurse said that if I was having problems then they would see me, but i'm on medicare/medicaid now and they don't accept medicaid.... i'm at 190lbs. now and feel very fat...can eat alot, did the cottage cheese test 2c. or more!!!!   also, i just found out that I have hiatal hernia, wonder if thats the problem?   any thoughts...thanks  jane

Have your hernia repaired and it will help. As far as eating a lot - don't. Go back to the beginning and start over. kp

we baix ppl are sposed to have lifelong after care aren't we? or was i dreaming?

 

um- 30 # is alot but i have to think that maybe portion control could be part of the culprit--the weight won't just "stay" off...

sorry-not to offend.

It's always been said, before and after wls, just because you CAN eat a certain amount, doesn't mean you SHOULD eat it.  I would for sure get the hernia repaired and then maybe get back to basics.  Here's a website I found VERY interesting, I saved it in case I ran into this sort of trouble. http://livingafterwls.blogspot.com/2007/08/five-day-pouch-test.html

Thanks for your input, i do eat alot of soft foods, will call Barix and ask about the hernia. it is small so my dr. where i'm live  said its not a problem, just take my meds for heatburn. will try the 5 day pouch test to get on track....jane
