3rd Revision ? - Body odor issues- Ideas for good revision surgeon in MI
I have had lots of issues with body odor problems. I had a RNY in 2003 and in 2009 had the intestinal portion of the DS. My wt loss since then has been slower as they did not do anything with my pouch. Since the last surgery I have had a body odor problem which I have not been able to get rid of. It is temporarly gone when on Flagyl but then comes back when off antibiotic. My surgeon will not do anything with my pouch. Does anybody have an idea for a good revision surgeon in MI. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori
I don't know any in Mi. They are hard to come by. I too am seeking a revision from erny due to hypoglycemia, and some other problems. I think my revision surgeon is going to revise me to a ds after a few tests to see what is going on.
I do know that dr. Keshishian In Ca does revisions and is well thought of. I have all the info from them if this doesn't fly with my surgeon. He just has a program fee and I would have travel cost, But I won't stop until I get these issues resolved.

You can contact them through their web site and they will verify your ins coverage and call you.
I hope you get something done!
I cant eat dense protein, my stomach burns, sometimes waking me in the night despite being on Nexium. I have hypogglycemia. My food empties out of my pouch very quickly, I can be stuffed, and 15 minutes later I "can" - but don't eat again.
If I have any type of carbs(not simple), such as potatoes, milk, corn, I get so sleepy that I feel compelled to lie down, and if I do... I go into a really deep sleep, then wake up with an overwhelming desire to eat.
My D level is low, and the pth is high, indicating that my calcium is too low, and causing my body to get the calcium it needs from my bones( I hope I said all that right, this is new to me and I am still learning about it) I already take the dry d, and have upped my calcium. Now I have to say that I did not take my viatmins +right+ I did miss some doses-days. The only excuse I have for that is that I had a lot of trouble healing, and it seemed when I would take the vits I would feel sick at my tummy. I would get off schedule then.
I also have pain around my left mid-section, I believe it is a hernia. i guess it shows I have a small umbilical one.
