Topic: This forum IS VERY MUCH NEEDED...

Hello everyone, I am glad that someone created this forum, because there are some people that had revisions to a BPD and are doing well, we all are not horror stories...I am one of them. I had a revision from a RNY to BPD, I still have my pouch, it is in good working order/functioning well; I still had my restriction so there was no reason to to take it down. My intestines were re- routed to the DS, I am pleased with my surgery. I gained back 100 pounds, from the RNY. I had the revision on 2/2/10 and I have since lost 120 pounds with no complications; I rarely have dumping if I eat something with high fructose, so I stay away from it; however I like that because it keeps me on my toes with sugar intake. I take my vitamins, vit A&D3, vit D3, a multi vit, Iron pill with vit C, and Calcium according to what my Dr. suggested, and my labs are good. So, please people don't knock this forum there may be something and/or someone that may be of help to someone that has had the same surgery or similar.

 Get some Zinc losenges and use one every other day for the first week then two the next week and see if it helps.   you should see a cessation of loss and it will begin to come back in a couple of weeks....  Cold-eze at wal mart....It's what I have used for years...I am 15 years post op.

In Oct. 2009 I had the bpd/ds.  I've had nothing but complication after complication.  Abscesses, Pulmonary embolism, fluid on the lungs which I quit breathing and ended up in ICU.  After a year of drain tubes and numerous hospitalizations the Dr. decided to operate and try and clean up the abscesses on Nov. 2010,  In the process of this surgery the Dr. knicked my spline and had to be removed.  This also didn't work and was fed for months with a J tube.  In May 2011 I had a revision of my bod/D's to roux n y.  This surgery could not be done laproscopicly.  The incision would not heal and I ended up with a wound vac.  I have spent so much time hospitalized that I am very well known by the hospital staff.
