Revision VBG to RNY on 3/3/10
Hello,
My name is Jodie, I am 48 years old and in 2002 I had a VBG losing nearly 200 pounds. I was down to 225 and have kept that same weight for the last 3 years. I have never been able to eat meat since 2002 so became an unwilling vegeterian however in the last year, I started throwing up everything that i tried to eat. I ended up with a bleeding ulcer in addition to a whole lot of scar tissue from my panniculectomy (done in 2003) and strictures in the esophogus would not allow anything through into my stomach. I posted my history on the regular board and then saw this and thought this forum more applicable to my situation.
March 3, 2010 I had a revision to RNY which is a lot different than my VBG life. Looking for advice, support and a place to answer my questions.
I next see my surgeon on March 16th. for surgery followup.
