Help?! Had roux en y 2006.. Now need something else? Open me to read.
Hi, I had my surgery 2006 in Michigan at cori centers by dr Taylor, and dr wood. I now live in Florida. Anyways I am told I have blind limp syndrome, my stomach opening is way to big. I was 120 pounds now 187. I dump severely with most everything I eat. I am ill everyday. I know I need something else done but don't know what. Doctors here don't wanna see me cuz surgery was done else where.... Please help..
My suggestion would be to go to your PCP. Have him / her do referrals for you to normal non WLS related specialists and let them test you to determine what exactly is going on. Then when you have those test results in hand, go to a new WLS if possible with those test results. That might get you the needed edge to get these surgeons to pay attention to your needs and help you out.
I had my bypass in 2006 in Alabama then moved to Florida. I went from 240 to 120 in a year. I gradually started gaining weight back like you have. Go see Dr. Jawad he teaches revision procedures to other Doctors around the Country. He found that my pouch and my stomach had grown back together and started communicating with each other. I also had a fistula. He did the revision surgery last September. He is fantastic! Just request your records from your Doctor that did the bypass and give them to the office. He took me with no problem! My insurance approved it within minutes! :) I just saw him last Friday and my stoma opening to my pouch is too large. He is going to do the Endoscopic Sclerotherapy Injections that will create scar tissue and make the opening smaller. This is all you might need. Go see him.
