Topic: RE: RNY REGRETS
I would explore all options. i would also look very deep into the malabsorbtion part of some surgeries. I never realized how it would effect my life. I would have probably done the band now that I know what I know now about not absorbing protein and vitamins.
Topic: RE: Has anyone had their surgery REVERSED ???????
I have considered a reversal because my weight loss will not stop. My labs keep decreasing even though I am doubled up on my protein and vitamins. I dont think I am absorbing anything. I cant sleep, have shakes in my hands all the time, muscle weakness, cant keep muscle on, tingles in my legs at night, dizzyness, and now supposedly I have a leak in my pouch when I get full. Air goes into my chest and neck causing a horrible pain and shortness of breath because it limits the room my lungs can expand.

Topic: RE: Question: Dumping vs Stomach Virus
this link explains dumping. I have only experience it once when I ate fried fish without the batter. The episode last about 4 hrs. Severe intestional cramping and disentary. My nut said that dumping helps to reinforce the need to make healthy choices and keep us on track. I think most patients 2 - 3 years out have less problems with it.

Good luck with your decision. I have no regrets having had WLS.

Topic: RNY REGRETS
Hi everyone. My name is Shade' and I am trying to research every single aspect of weight loss surgery as I can. I have been considering gastric bypass for a while now so I would really like to hear everyone's regret towards this procedure and if you could go back in time, would you do it all over again? Or would you explore another option?
Topic: has anyone had an erosion? or dialated espoph?
What does it feel like and what are the symptoms? Sometimes my stomach will feel a burning sensation. Even when I havn't eaten in a while. I also wonder if it is esoph spasims. If you have had these problems please let me know the symptoms and the fix. Thanks so much!

Topic: Question: Dumping vs Stomach Virus
Hi all, I need you guys to be really honest with me.
I'm pre-op RNY and just had the Stomach Virus that's been going around. I had high fever, chills, sweats, vomiting and diarehea AT THE SAME TIME, and bad pain in my joints and legs. It lasted 2 days and I'm 2 days later still recovering from the weakness.
Is this what dumping is like? What's the difference? Because I just can not in my right mind sign up for something like this!
Please be honest!
God Bless You,
Barbara
