Question:
Info needed on Staple line disrupture.....

01/30 09:46 PM EST I was recently diagnosed with a staple line disrupture and am scheduled for surgery on April 2nd for the repair. Does any one know will my weight loss be quick like it was the first three months after my original surgery? Will I indeed have a second beginning to the honey moon phase. I lost 95 from June 10th to November 10th and then everything stopped. I need to lose another 45 to get to goal and would love to be there by August. Thanks in advance for your input and answers! -- cindy o    — cindy O. (posted on January 30, 2003)

I had SLD and revision at 5+ yrs postie. I had gained 12#, of which I lost 15 in 2 weeks. Settled right back where I was, though. So, my GUESS (only) is that you'd probably continue where you left off, rather than get that rocket start. Don't be disappointed if you plod along at 10# per month. With only 45 to go, you'll be done by summer!

When I disrupted and quit losing for 3 months, I was transected and had about 6 wks of honeymoon period to enjoy then it slowed down again some. Still, it was very different after transection than before when the staple line disrupted. Good luck to you!
