I have an online friend who went to MX for hers.  She is from Canada I believe.  I'll see if she will pop on and share her experience.  She seems to be happy enough with the results.

Thanks for sharing and so sorry yu had such a horrible experiance with all of it.

Good luck. Hope you feel better soon.

Jules, I have just discovered your post on hypoglycemia for more information..I had my rny in June of '02. I began to experience very odd and drained feelings after I would eat my meals...I began to delay eating at work, because I would always want to sleep!...and I was an elementary art teacher!...and many times I would experience what I now know was a blood sugar drop...my daughter saw how sick I was becoming...as sleeping all the time wasn't normal and I visited my PCP..who performed the fasting glucose test...sure enough...my blood sugar rose and dropped rapidly and I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetes...but the meds given me made the hypoglycemia worse!...and I felt awful...so I visited an endocrinologist...who again gave me the glucose test and he also monitored my insulin levels...and again I crashed...as my blood sugar rose...so did the insulin...until the crash..so he took all meds away and asked that I record my blood sugar readings for a few months..he was pleased with  the blood sugar readings and suggested no meds...just increased my vitamin a and D...but to this day...I still feel dopy when I eat any carbs...I hate how foods make me feel....llike I am drunk...and now that I have had a diabetes diagnosis on record, no insurance company will write me a policy!...any suggestions in your research?

Thanks so much, Jules.  I called the doctor's office, and he's going to see me tomorrow. I think I'm just fine, but I'll feel better when I know it's a nothing kind of thing. 

It looks like, from your posts, that you have literally been through the ringer!  I'm so sorry you've had such a terrible time.  I hope you get some "down" time from your pain.  I have some chronic pain (arthritis/degenerative disc disease/sacroiliitis,) though absolutely nothing like what you've been through.  There's such a delicate balance between acknowledging the chronic nature of that pain, and trying to not succumb to it, emotionally or physically.  I always feel like it's so b-o-r-i-n-g to other people if they ask about my progress, and I tell them.   I'm grateful to this forum for that reason. 

Thanks for your support.  Keep us posted, and I'll do the same!

I had a laparoscopic RNY reversal August 17th after 13 years, due to severe malnutrition/weight loss.  The other day, I noticed that I now have a large (approximately 5" long, 1 1/2" wide) oval lump, for a better word, under the skin in my mid abdomen.  It doesn't hurt.  It doesn't go away, so I don't think it's a hernia.  I'm not having any other symptoms.  It's hard, and not movable.  Scar tissue, maybe?  I'm going to call the doctor's office tomorrow and have it checked out, just to make sure everything is okay, but has anyone had a similar experience?  My surgeon had to do a lot of repair work during my reversal.  There was a lot of scar tissue, my intestines had shifted out of place, and there was a mesynteric opening.  It's easy to get scared about lumps and bumps.  Thanks so much for your input.
