revesion questions?
hello i had my RNY may 2003 never met goal weight lost about 80 lbs currently weight 264 that is a 20 lb gain . looking into a revision or is it all in my head feel aweful for even thinking about another procedure. cant afford to take off work . and i know my surgeon in salisbury MD wont do one. however i would like him to do a endo scope just to look around . i feel crazy and not worthy of a revision i mean i feel as though i screwed up the first one any thoughts or suggestions would be appeciated
Hi I had Open RNY 7/99. I also never met goal, although I lost 130#. Was good fr about 2 yrs or so then gaining began. Now I am also looking into revision and scared to death!! What if I fail again? I mean--I failed already once, how embarrassing!! Now I think I deserve a second shot? Have been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Adrenal Fatigue/Failure. If I were to have revision, they want to do it open again. I remember the pain--the healing time. Do I go thru that all again? Am I worth it? How long will the revision last? Will I be hurting my insides more? What a dilemma!! I wanted the Lap band but they say they cannot do it over a RNY due to too little tissue. Write back and tell me your thoughts!!
