RNY Reversal

Good Evening...

Has anyone in the NH area had their RNY reversed?  I have been so sick for the past 3 years (my original surgery) and we can't figure out what the problem is. 

I have lost too much weight (weight is now 98 lbs) even though I eat every three hours. I am always nausiated, sometimes vomiting, and hot flashes after I eat.  I have had seven different surgeries connected to the original one and I am slowly losing energy and strength. 

I went from being a perky semi-overweight person to a skeletal sickly-looking person.  I wear a large or extra-large GIRLS.

Anyone been through this much turmoil or even had theirs reversed?

I wish I had some words of wisdom for you.  I just wanted to say I am thinking of you and that I hope you find relief soon.  I have never heard of a reversal, but I would think if you put this on the general board you may get more response or help.

Good luck.

Thank you.

I have read the posts on the main board and there are a lot of people that have gone through a reversal.  Almost all had the same symptons I have had and it seems the reversal was a big help.  I will learn on Thursday if that is my next step. Three years of operations, hospital stays, and trying to get well/gain weight has taken a toll on me.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I am sorry to hear you are having so many problems.  Can I make a suggestion?  This is a complex surgery....please get the best surgeon you can...one who has done this before.  I believe my surgeon has done this before... he gets all the complex cases other doctors will not touch.  Believe it or not he has a ton of patients from NH and other states in New England.  He also does bariatric research one day a week....
Please get a 2nd opinion before you proceed with a reversal so you will know all your options and can make the best decision for your health.
Good Luck!
Valerie
