RNY 2002, revision of RNY to make smaller pouch because it was originally created 3xs larger than the norm.  2011 Intussesception surgery.....

The pouch is the same size as it was made in 2008, anastomosis is nearly the  same size too...
So...why the hell have I gained 50 lbs and vomit so much, bathroom issues...

The doctor that did the EGD said it is not due to failing mechanics of my WLS.  He strongly believes that it is a 'Motility Disorder' that is the problem, possibly from my surgery or the Intussesception.   So, I am making appts to see the GI specialist, my bariatric surgeon and the nutritionist.  

So my thoughts of DS are on hold until I can determine this issue as there are many types of Motility disorders and more testing is needed. Sigh...
