Slow weight loss after revision
hi alll! I had a rny in 2006 and had a revision rny done on Feb. 26. SW 242 CW 231. Both my surgeon and I think the weight is coming off way too slow. I am following the surgeons instructions except I don't get the full 64 oz of fluids daily.
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm so afraid that the revision won't help me.
The lack of water alone could be the problem. People who don't drink all their water tend to slow way down on their weight loss. Also revisions tend to go slower than virgin surgeries. What type of revision did you have? There are several different names out there for different type revisions. The ROSE and Stomaphax have very poor results maybe 20-30 lbs is all.
I can imagine! It is pretty upsetting when the surgeon is upset, hopefully it was at himself and not you. Honestly I haven't read about any terribly successful RNY revisions unless they get into changing the intestinal connection and I don't know a lot about RNY just what I've read here. I do know the ROSE and Stomphyx procedures aren't very good, they are hoping the Apollo procedure will be better but no big results on that yet. So up your water and keep plugging along hopefully something will change soon! Good luck to you!
It's been a few months. How is your loss now? Are you weighing or measuring your portions? Tracking every bite? We tend to eat more than we think we are. To lose, I have to be really strict with my portion size and measuring is the only way I am sure of how much I am actually eating.
