Back to Normal?

Not sure where to ask this that I am not going to get either WLS is the Devil responses or WLS is a Miracle responses only.

For those who the surgery "failed" and they either didn't lose the weight or gained it back...did you get back to normal?  able to eat what you did before?  feeling like you did before?  no major health reprecussions?

Yes I had the Rny in April of 05. I did lose 90 pounds in 8 months, and then I stopped losing. Nothing for almost a year. I still exercised and ate what I was supposed to. I walked a lot. Then I started gaining after that year, and have gained over 40 ;pounds. I was at my wit's end, I didn't know what to do. My surgeon recommen ded the lap band over my RnY. I was really thinking of doing it, but I came on OH and read a little about it, but somehow, something, maybe an angel steered me to the DS forum, and that is where I have lived for the last year or so. I am going to have the DS in a couple of months. I would suggiest strongly you read up on it and know what it is so if you still decide to go with the RnY, at least you read up on the DS and know it is available. I believe it is a better chance for better weight lopss and better eating. No dumping or stricturesdd. Read the DS forum and see how happy everyone is after the initial few mopnths that is. Tough at first, but sounds like the one for me. I wish you well. PS: I never hadd any medical problems with the RNY and yes went back to eating pretty normal. I still eat a lot of protein and do drink my water since I do still have the "pouch" in me.

oops, I think you already had the Rny? Sorry I didnt catch you sooner.

Would I have the surgery again?  I had my WLS Nov.6 2006.  I lost all my weight in 4 months. (120lb)   If you would have ask me this last month I would have said yes.  Now after fipping my SUV over, because my blood sugars can't stay normal  or it was because I am so just so tired all time.  The answer would be no.  Good news to the doctor's I'm a WLS success. Olny because I loss my weight. 

I guess I am the devil response

Sorry
