RNY complications after Babies
I don't have any experience with this. But, I can honestly say since I was pregnant I can eat WAY more than I used to prior to pregnancy. I got down to 140lbs which is 20 below dr's goal and I'm now 173 or so which is around 10-15 above goal. I'm wondering if I have ruined my tool also. Maybe I need to get this check out. I never feel full anymore.
hi jenn im am going thru the same thing now, look at my examples
in 2006 i had wls i weighed 275lbs
after i had my daughter i weighed 145lbs in 7/2008
today in 2011 a year after the birth of my twins i am 207lbs and im 5'3
i gained 62lbs since 7/08 and i am also NEVER FULL
SO i went to see another surgeon because my original surgeon doesnt preform wls anymore and I asked about lapband!!
he requested a barium swallow and it showed my "pouch" stetched out 4x larger than what it should be!!! so he wants to re-do my rny, however im not 100lbs overweight and have no comorbities so i hope i can have this surgery done.
i speak for myself in saying i am ashamed that i screwed up this tool thinking i can never gain my weight back, i dont make the best food choices but regardless i always ate the same with n without surgery its just the fullness feeling i need back. and i dislike when my family just tells me go on a diet and watch what i eat!! if it was that easy for me i wouldnt have had wls!!!
sorry to vent but i can relate 100% to this. if you ever want to chat im on fb my email is [email protected]
