Topic: RE: ***Endocrinologist Appointment***
Hey there !
My name is Natalie. I am 4 years post op. I too have AI . However, I have no adrenal glands. I had tumors and lost them both.

I can tell you that my Endo has done research with NIH ( National Institutes of Health ) and I can promise you , that your AI was not caused by your RNY. AI is brought on from diseases such as Addisons, or Cushings or the loss of the adrenals or their function.

AI is a condition that I have lived with for 2 years. I have had many complications, to many to list here, but I can tell you that trying to manage my diet and this condition can be tricky.

I would love to talk to you more if you want .

Take care,

Nat

Topic: RE: XPOST Pre-Op Rant I Guess
As a long term post of of a 200 pound loss and NO regain . I tell you , that the surgery is a tool . The success of the surgery depends on the individual . Yes , there can be stoma increases and needs for revisions , however for the most part the people that regain will tell you it is because they do not follow the rules of the pouch .  I for one .. did not have this surgery to fail . I have and will always follow the rules . Now . do I stray .. of course I do . I am human . But I know the key .. and for me this is the answer ..  PROTEIN - WATER AND EXERCISE ...  not to mention making good , healthy food choices .  This surgery does work .. it is up to you the patient to be accountable for your weightloss or regain .  You are exactly right in saying this is not magic .. it is a gift .. and a tool .  I know that if you want this bad enough , willing to do the work .. and to stay mentally and physically in the game .. you will obtain your goals and reach dreams you would have never seen .  If you have any questions .. or want to talk .. I am here ..  Take care,  Natalie
