I know that many, many patients that have had RNY have gained back 50% of their weight. I had RNY almost 3 years ago and I only lost 60 pounds-- I had 2 major car accidents and I was on bed rest for 3 months. I couldn't walk. I've gained 30 pounds and now I have more problems with my diabetes and such than when I first had RNY. I am determined to have a revision to DS as soon as I stablize with my back and neck injuries. Feel free to pm anytime time. Yours in health--Samaria

What you may be talking about is the Fobi Pouch. It's a RNY with a sylastic band> That is what I have, but since my Dr isn't Dr Fobi he cant call it that..

why don't you try the stomaphyx . or check to see if you didn't stretch your stomach back out. you can always go see your dr, and be put on a weight loss plan instead of going back under the knife. remember wls is a tool not a permanent fix you still have to work your tool
