Topic: Colon Resection after prior gastric by pass
My name is Tom. I had gastric by pass surgery in July 2006. I was almost 300 pounds, diabetic, taking over 14 pills a day due to many other issues. Got down to 167 pounds at my best. Have gained back about 35 pounds. Staying right around 195 to 200. Still feel great except I have been having other stomach issues the last year. Diverticulitis. Two attacks put me in the hospital in a 4 month period. I am once again having the pains relating to this issue. I am going to the gastro doc tomorrow. I was told I might have to get a colon resection. I am not happy about it, scared and worried. The one thing I worry about is will they mess up my gastric by pass? Will they do the resection correctly? I do not want and could not handle emotionally having a colostomy bag. I am only 51. I hope to get back on track and lose the 35 pounds I put on. I miss that full feeling and slight pain as a warning I use to have. Can eat anything now and it is hard to control at times. Need a good support group. Moved from FL two years ago to GA and nothing close to my home. MY Dr. in FL was awesome. Wish he was here in GA. Dr. Brett Cohen. I can't find a decent surgeon here. Well guess I better get off of here. Please say a prayer for me.

Topic: Hello everybody!...
my name is Anna & I have been a member on here since 02 (I had a nother profile when OH started but I re-did it & here I am) I have tried getting wls as of 14 yrs ago & finally I was blessed with my rny 02/01/10, everything went great! I have not had any somplications yet which sometimes I wonder if I actually have a rny as I feel so good inside! I do not eat until I cant anymore because I don't want to get sick nor pain since I have gone through enough pain for a lifetime!

I have lost 60lbs & very greatful & excited!

I must admit I feel so naive as I have been a member so very long I never knew there were groups to join... the day I joined here is the day I found out, maybe my brain or eyes were suffering from obesity aswell

I am so happy to be here & meet all you people, I am in South Texas by the way (been here for over 20yrs) anybody from South Texas? I am ooriginally from Miami, Fla (Homstead area)
