WoW!  You really have gone through a lot. Thank you so much for talking to me  I too had the ring w/ the bypass otherwise known as Fobi Pouch GB.-- and had to have it taken out 7 years ago for the same reason as you.  I have had, since my original surg. 15 years ago, many problems....anemia (iron transfusion), vit. D difiency (a port put in  for 8 weeks of infusions) lost all but 5 teeth from so much vomiting that I finally got dentures 6 weeks ago, the stricture in my intestine and stoma with my stomach, bleeding ulcers, hernia, reflux, and I literally could only still get down to 188lbs. I am still trying to convince my dr. go lap (I don't care if he has to do 8 incisions) I just really don't want to be cracked open on that same scar for a third time....way harder to recooperate.  Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.  Good luck putting the weight back on, I will be praying for you.  I am a teacher and will only be three weeks out from surg. before school starts and was hoping to be able to start school -it is not looking promising-- but heck who knows--I might be the one who is different.  Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing
