Theresa, bless your heart - I can read your dispair! I wish I could provide names, but there ARE those that for medical (or other) reasons have had their surgeries reversed. A couple of years ago on this general forum, I believe there was someone named Barbara. I know someone will be able to give you the information you need. In the meantime, please stay as strong as you can and know prayers are with you.
Theresa,
I am so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I would only like to make sure you know that everytime they make a change in your intestine the risks go up substantially. I think that maybe you need to find a surgeon that would be willing to look at why your entrance keeps closing, but I am not sure you want anyone to touch your intestines again. You already had an IJ in the 70's then reversed, then this new RNY. That is a lot already. Just be cautious before you undergo anymore.
Prayers heading your way.
Sherry
