Reversals are not something I would personally mess with unless necessary like mine is. I have to have a complete reversal of my RNY and then I am having the lap band put on. Almost all patients that have just a reversal regain at least a portion if nto all of their weight. Did you really go through all this jsut to gain it all back. I have to have a reversal to try and correct a complication that I have had since day 1, vagal nerve injury causing severe gastroparesis and dysmotility of the intestinal tract. I have no motility. I have chronic and constant paina dn nausea. I live every day sick. I spend at least 2 weeks  a year in a hospital. I have surgery almost every year. Please look really hard at having the reversal before you do it. I would suggest seeing a bariatric therapist like the previous poster said. They will help you through your fears and teach you that it is really not as bad as you fear. Personally, and I am not trying to scare you cause you would alreay know if you had this problem, I cannot eat meat, fish, dairy, protein shakes, pasta, rice, or any very dense food. If I do, throw up for hours on end cause I have no motility to move it along. So I have a feeding tube in my remnant. I still throw up on a daily sometiems every meal basis. This is why the need for reversal cause theya re trying to save my esophogus. Please look long and hard at the reversal before you do it. Good luck

I had my surgery in Sept of 2004.  I went from 315 to 198 but have recently started putting the weight back on.  I hate it because I've lost that satisfied feeling I got after the surgery.
BUT - would I not have it?  I would have it every year if I could.  I'm back up to 245, I do have problems with anemia but every day has been worth it.  Before my surgery I had diabetes and heart palpitations, high blood pressure....I couldn't do anything without feeling like I was going to pass out.  Even if I gain back every pound, the years I've had since then have been like a dream, problems are going to happen....I still wouldn't trade that surgery for anything in the world.  NO, i do NOT regret it AT ALL.

My suggestion would be to get hold of a bariatric therapist that can help you weed out your phobias from genuine concern. You are early out and might just be going through what they consider buyer's remorse, which I hear goes away in a month or two usually.
I can tell you that I wish I had made some decision at 25 and not be sitting here at 36 fatter than ever with the onset of health problems and missed out on the past 10 years. Best of Luck to you.
BTW most insurance companies do cover a takedown of surgery if there are complications or insignificant weightloss.

Geez, woman...you're everywhere! 

To the person not being able to go to his site, simply delete 1 of the "W"'s in the web address as there were too many added...

Good for you Ron in all your accomplishments...People who bash you or make you feel less of a the person that you are and truly deserve to be are only jealous. Good for you for trying to make the deciders more aware of the dangers surrounding this surgery...

BEst of luck in your continuous Journey.
