Need Help on How to Proceed...
I had an Open RNY 6 years ago. After the initial surgey, I had a bowel obstruction which led to another surgery, then 2 weeks after that, I was unable to eat or drink anything, which led to another surgery. I was in the hospital for 2 months, ended up in the ICU almost died 3 times..
Finally, the surgeon did a FOURTH surgery and came into the room and told me that he fixed me but that I wouldnt lose any more weight. I left the hospital a complete mess, I had wound infections that had to be packed by a home health nurse twice a day for 2 months. Despite all of that, I went from 350lbs to 213lbs.
Fast Forward 3 years.. At this point Im recently married and have had my first child. I get scared that what the surgeon did to me is going to fall apart one day and Im going to drop dead. I begin to call surgeons in my area to see if they will just check it out. Look inside me and see if what he did is going to stick. No one will even meet with me to discuss it due to the reputation of the surgeon who performed my RNY. I leave it in God's hands.
Fast Forward 3 more years to today. I am married with 2 children now and that scary feeling has come back, looking at my 6 month old baby girl. Plus, Im fat again. I feel terrible, severely depressed with terrible body aches especially my feet. I have regained 75 lbs. I decide that there must be something, enough time has surely passed for me to be able to see someone: firstly to check out my current insides, and secondly to prayerfully do a revision or teach me how to use my current pouch, something to help me get this weight off and know that Im going to be OK for the long haul.. There is no way in H*** Im going back to the first guy. So what do I do. How do I get someone to talk to me.
Anybody seasoned, who can help me. Please do so. I thank you in advance.

Hi,
I can't make any promises, but try contacting these folks. They have a very good success rate. Flo is a postop of 10 years or so and the doctor is great. They both work in a center down there in Florida.
