Awww your getting closer to the Dark Side.. My DH has the RNY and we both have the same WL Dr, when my DH had the RNY in Jan 2004, the DS was not avalable for him. For the most part he has been sucsessful, he did gain back about a 100 lbs from his lowest, due to stress of his job and the seizure meds he's on. But his epilepsy Dr got him on a new med and thats helped a lot. When he had his RNY he was pushing 450, I think now he's around 250. Its not good for him right now. I crave carbs by them and then he eats them.. So I have made a pack with him and myself NOT to buy any more. So far so good.
Your getting closer and closer to haveing your revision and I'm pulling for you. GL and let us know how the consult gose.
