went to dr today

 I went to the sergeon that I had my rny gb with. he wants to do a scope down my throat to see if I have an ulcer and also he thinks I need to be dialated again!! he said he was going to dialate me  to 18 whatever that means.  I lost another lb since friday. Here I am 2 1/2 years out and still loosing weight. from 378 to 151. Thaats 227 lb loss. The dr is worried  because he said ive lost 10 lbs in the last month and I shouldnt be loosing anymore. he said stretching me might help a little but im worried it might make me gain weight.. I dont want to loose to much weight though.he said all thats left on me is skin skin skin. im just tired of always being sick. Sheila

Sheila, I'm LeAnn.  I started out at 279 and am down to 140.  My doc told me to stop losing at 165.  I have had so many scopes and dialations I have lost count.  I too was terrified the dialation would make me gain and the docs assured me that it wouldn't.  All that is left of me is skin and bones too.  No muscle and no fat.  I don't know what's causing your problem but if you will read what I posted under I found a doc who specializes in complications it might help.  Some people with complications really do die so please intervene before that happens.  I have learned that most docs either don't know or don't want to be bothered with finding out the real causes of complications.  One of my gastroenterologists whom I had seen for two years actually became so frustrated with me for not getting better he  now refuses to see me ever again.  This was after he literally yelled at me and cursed me and my son out!!  Now that I received real treatment from Dr Elliot Goodman in NYC (I was so broke I went there with less than $100-and a charity paid my plane fare) I feel like a normal person for the first time in years.  There is hope!!  You can recover but you have to see a doctor who will care enough to find out what is wrong and fix it.  I honestly don't think you have to worry about gaining weight anymore.  I had the same fear.  I hated being fat and was willing to risk everything to be a normal sized person.  I was starting to think I had made a serious mistake but since Dr Goodman diagnosed me and treated me correctly I am actually almost well again.  Take care and please update me!!!!!
