27 Years Out - Regained Weight - Can't Digest Solids
I can understand being reluctant to have surgery. I was very hesitant to have my revision because the VBG was my first surgery and I had a lot of pain due to a big incision at least 12 inches long. When I woke up from my VBG I felt like someone had been jumping up and down on my stomach. Also, after a couple of days in the hospital, one of the inner layers of my stitches split open and I had to go back to surgery to get that fixed. My RNY was laproscopic and I had less pain than with the open incision and I also had a surgeon experienced with revisions. Now I wish I'd had my RNY much sooner because I'm enjoying life so much now. I'm no longer a hermit and I'm doing all kinds of fun stuff with my husband.
