RNY takedown (reversal)
Hi, how long did the process take between when you decided to reverse and the actual surgery?
I had RNY four years ago and lost 80 lb. the only problem is, I have progressively worse food allergies and at first only got itchy hives and rashes from gluten and soy. Now I can't have dairy, MSG, anything artificial, or night shades. I've been on GAPS diet for several months and have an itchy rash all over my body. I also cut out all sugar so I eliminated any candida overgrowth that might be the cause. I am convinced this surgery ruined my life and I would take being fat any day over this hellish existence. I can't sleep because of the itching and rash and have missed weeks of work. I can't eat anything or drink anything and my life is over. I am seriously thinking of this. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. thanks
I am soooooo sorry I haven't replied earier. Itching all the time has GOT to be miserable! blech!!!
Not many surgeons are willing to perform reversals and many patients lack concrete medical evidence of anything actually wrong or anything that is connected to the wls to be causing their issues. I had NO medical evidence but LOTS of dr visits and er visits and no real treatments. It can be maddening I know.
PM me if you would like to talk more. I would be more than willing to chat
God I hope you're feeling even a little bit better since this post was made.
