Never Thought I'd Be Posting Here.

 

Hi,

Today, I rejoined OH.  This time, as a person seeking a revision.  I first joined back in early 2008; I had RNY surgery on Dec 28, 2008.  I did well for the first year or so, but then I started slacking off, thinking the surgery would allow me to eat what I wanted and still keep the weight off.  Well, surprise, surprise!  It doesn't work that way.  So, I'm back.

Let me tell you, rejoining this site was not easy for me.  Granted, I made many friends and gained (and gave) lots of support here.  (It's a great site!)  But, returning and rejoining made me face the harsh reality that I really need help.  Again.  I can't believe I'm starting this whole process over (haven't even attended my first info session, nor have I started that whole uphill insurance battle.)  ​I can't do this alone.  I do know that.  And that's why I'm back.

I'm scheduled to attend an information session on May 6th. It can't come soon enough.  I am thankful for 2nd chances and, provided I'm given one, I will NOT waste it this time.

xoxo

What type of revision are you going to attempt. Welcome back, I struggle daily to the point that I do not live a happy healthy life, I am so scared to gain back all my weight that I dont eat anything without beating myself up about it. I feel I have failed to loose weight and because a happy normal person...I have such bad food anxiety that food is NEVER pleasurable...

 

Good luck you are at the right place

Hi Mell:

Isn't it crazy the kinds of prisons we place ourselves in? I can totally relate to your food anxiety. xoxo

I am hoping to have a revision to DS. I'm still in the research phase. I'm going to attend an info session either in early April or early May, and then schedule a consult.

I am impressed with your progress. You've done much better than me.  I weighed myself this morning (first time I've done that at home in YEARS) and I'm only 25 pounds lighter than my pre-RNY weight.  Talk about getting a wake-up call!

Lynn, why do you believe you need a revision? Your RNY is not "broken" right?

You'll have to go through surgery again and you will end up where you are now - having to work at it.

I'm seeking a revision because the RNY was not the best option for me.  End of story.

o.k then.

Wow u came to this site again for help u didnt have to b rude with "end of story". Next time mention that u want people to reply only what u want to hear and the people trying to help will not reply at all. Good luck....u r going to need it with that rudeness.

Hi Phillies Phan (your avatar jumped right out at me) !

How is your revision journey coming? Persevere and you can find success. 

All the best, K
