HAD STAPLING SURGERY IN '84..NEED "HELP"

In 1984, I had the old stomach stapled to lose weight. There was NO before teaching, of what to eat, what to expect, what to do, etc. Just the fact that I would drop the lbs. This was after many times of diet pills, failed diets, et****il my Dr., [ since I was 16], had suggested this surgery. I did lose 68 lbs., in the beginning, I mostly think it was out of fear of eating, and kept off 58 of those lbs. I do have a LOT of trouble with eating meat, vegetables, & fruit! Go figure!! :-( I throw these things, up! No way to eat fish. :barf: I try to eat slow, & found to cut up a salad in tiny baby bites the only way to get in vegetables other than a V8. I drink mostly tea, coffee & water. I need to take off the other 50 lbs., and it just seems like I am always trying with NO results. I guess I am asking if any one else out there has experienced this problem. What are some suggestions of what you did, were you able to take the weight off? Did you have a revision, a reversal? I have considered both. I don't think there is a Dr. in Springfield,. Mo. that does either, at least there was'nt about 10 years ago. Do you still live with throwing up, or have you found out how to stop ? :shrug: debi

I would sure talk to Dr. Christopher Edwards at St. John's Bariatrics in Springfield. He is my surgeon and is a loving, kind man. I also know he did a revision on a friend who had an incorrectly performed RNY. He would be someone who would listen to you and give you caring advice. Love and hugs, Lana

Lana is right, they know alot more about it now. go see the doctor...God bless... vesta
