Revision from RNy to Extended or Distal RNY
Hi,
Well I had a revision to a distal on Jan 13th. The first few weeks I lost 22 pounds because I wasn't eating. Since I started eating I'm only losing a couple of pounds a month. I truly wish I had a surgeon who would have left me a shorter cc so I would malabsorb more, but unfortunately he only bypassed 250 more cc for me. I also stopped losing weight after 6 months after my first rny, so I think that my body just adjusts more rapidly than others. Good luck to you in whatever you choose and make sure the surgeon you choose will do the surgery that you want how you want it.

You are such a sweetheart for sharing that information...I think 33 lbs is a great amount of weight to lose and sounds like it's going down all the time...Do you have to work really hard at it? Other than just your diet do you exercise a lot? I need all the helpful hints I can get....Going in on this Wednesday so I'll need to know a lot!
