Hypothetical ? Any one ever had a LAP RNY revised to a DS?

Just a 'hypothetical question'. IF, it's possible, has there been anyone out there that has had the same type WLS I've had and had it revised to a DS with greater results? I'm curious on the number of those of you that have and the outcome. I can't think about having it at this time anyway...I've got too much going on in my life right now. I would like to know. I'm having thyroid problems right now despite the fact that I am watching my portions, drinking so much water that I often hear it slushing around in my used-to-be-stomach, walking (honestly) 4-5 times a week for about 30 minutes, and getting...oh maybe about 60g og protein every day...I just don't understand. Had thyroid studies done, but seems like no one is listening or thinks it's not an issue to be concerned about. I see a "special nurse" monthly, who has knowledge of the way bariatric patients eat after WLS, but she is not a bariatric dietitian/nutritionist. Read my story...but I'm not at all pleased with this weight coming back. Please, no 'flamers', if you really have some worthwhile advice, suggestions or comments, I'm open to them. I've tried everything else. I'm a fighter, but I'm getting a little exhausted right now. Thanks in advance! ~~ Proximal LAP RNY 9/3/02 5'2" 265/178/115-126 ~Hadiyah, a.k.a~~
