RNY Reversal Surgery

HI! It has been a long time since I posted but I have a question. Has anyone ever known of someone who had their RNY reversed? I have a friend who is afraid that she is dying of Malnutrition. She is unable to keep down anything that she eats and has been in and out of the hospital since having her RNY in 2008. She is so weak that she continually falls and is staying in bed most of the time now. The doctor has put in a pic-line and was supposed to follow that up with a feeding tube. Now the doctor isn't going to put the feeding tube in. This woman has 2 sons, one has a disability and really needs his mother. She also has a daughter who need her mother. My friend is afraid that she won't be alive to see them graduate much less see them get married and have babies of their own. If anyone knows anything about reversal could you please let me know about it and what the possibility is of one getting this done, please? BTW she has Medicaid and Medicare. Thank you for anything you can do to help!

JMHO but I think I'd be looking for a new doctor. Sounds like this has gone on way too long. I don't know anything about reversal but there are forums on OH for just about everything I would think that would be one. Does you friend have someone attending appts with her? Sounds like she needs an advocate for sure. What does her surgeon believe the problem is? I'll keep her in my most positive thougthts.

Sure it can be reversed.  My doctor threatened me just the other day with reversing mine after I admitted to smoking again.

I just had my gastric bypass reversed 8 days ago, I have had complications for 6 years and several hospitalizations, but while sometimes it impeded my eating I still had outate the effectiveness of it, and was able to gain a large amount of weight back, but still was malnourished malabsorbing nurtrients and meds just not calories. I just have come back recently to OH because when I went to research reversals there isn't that much info out there.So I put my story regarding on my reversal on my profile... It sounds like she needs another doctor. If you or her want to email me, let me know....
