I'm about 3 years post op.  Had RNY. My starting weight was 320.  Got down to 200 then immediately got pregnant and shot back up to 280.  Been staying at 280 now for 2 years.  I can eat just like a normal person.  What is wrong with me?  I'm looking into a revision but I'm not sure if my insurance is going to cover it.  I have Blue Shield of CA PPO.  Im scheduled for an upper GI next week.  Anyone experiencing any of my problems with advice? Thanks:)

Your doing the right thing.  Get an Upper GI, you may also need a CT Scan of your abdomen as well as an Endoscopy.  That will tell you what is going on internally and if your pouch has stretched and the status of your stoma. I had an RNY in 2002. went from 305 to 175 and Im now at 246. Im having a BOB - Band over Bypass (lap band) on June 23rd.  Pull your insurance rider.  Many insurances say 1 bariatric surgery per lifetime, check your policy before you get too far in.
