Think I am done

I had my RNY in Las Vegas 9/2008. I regret it and see my Dr. tomorrow about a reversal. My millions of tests have shown no abnormal body or blood results. But I have constant diarrhea and can not leave my house for long. I am incontinenant and poop in my pants, my bed my car..gross!! I feel awful all the time. I have extreme fatigue and severe mental decline and memory problems. When I finally opened my mouth to tell my story I find many people like me. My Dr. is a good one and the tests show the surgery was done correctly. I have followed all advice and take all vitamins but my body simply will not tolerate this bypass that I have done to it. I have done nothing wrong but I felt guilty like I failed. After time on the internet and talking to other people I find that this is not uncommon. Many people keep their mouth shut or their Drs. shush them up. I thought the outcome of this surgery was more predictible. I was given a sheet of paper saying how much weight I would lose at what rate and all of the wonderful benefits I could expect, but what happened to me happens to many. My primary care Dr, walked out of the room when I said I want a reversal, so I changed to another who is sympathetic. My Gastroenterologist Assistant didn't know what to do so all she did was test me for a year, telling me "we will figure this out." when she couldn't find anything, she recommended benefiber for the diarrhea. That was the last straw for me. My insurance actually pays for the reversal. They paid to get me this way and they can pay to fix it I figure. Do not keep your mouth shut and do not be pushed around by doctors who don't know how to handle this. Demand that someone fix it.

It makes me wonder why he stop doing them .. It seems that a lot of people that has had this surgery done around the same time frame seems to have more problems. I sit and wonder what theses Dr.s don't want to tell us... and as far as a quick fix no it still took a lot of work to live a life time of misery . I do have to say I don't think that I would have listen to anyone either I knew that I wanted it so bad .. This was the worst thing that I have done only if I could take it back..
I hope that you will find some type of relief for your pain .. stay strong
