seizure disorder after RnY?
I'am in the process of having wls,and still unsure of which one to have at this point. I thought I wanted to have the RnY but I've read several stories of people having a seizure disorder years after their surgery. It is very scary and I just wanted to know if anyone has or knows anyone who has had this? Thanks.
here is an interesting study you might want to check out before you make a decision to have wls.
either way I hope the best for you

developing seizure disorders IS a complication of the rny. I never had seizures until my rny.
happily i had my surgery reversed 2.5 years ago and even the daily dizziness went away.
now I see the rational in creating a disease to cure another disease.
if i had the chance to do it over again. i would have NEVER had wls

I also started having seizures after surgery I guess about 6 years out. I had my surgery when I was 16 yrs old. I am 33 now and just had a reversal about 1 month ago. I developed an ulcer that was causing obstruction below my stomach and couldnt get anything down so my surgeon (Not my bariatric surgeon because he is retired) decided to do a full reversal. I am really happy that he did. I was so malnourished and have been feeling really bad for about 5 years or so. Currently since I was on liquids for almost 2 months I am at 130 lbs. Looking for a goal weight of around 165.
