Question:
2nd surgery?

I am almost 7yrs out from an open Roux n Y .I have lost 85lbs but to get down to 140 I should lose another 70lbs. I am wondering what criteria the surgeons use for a second surgery like a stomaphyx or something similar. Exercise is not a problem for me, I go to the gym 3 days a week, but it seems like I don't get that "full" feeling anymore when I eat...any comments are welcome. Thanks    — sblady329 (posted on March 27, 2009)

I had my surgery 20 years ago and have gained back most of my weight. I'm having a horrible time trying to find a doctor who is in network with Aetna to help me. I wish you the best of luck.

I am so afraid of regain. I returned to Overeaters Anonymous to get my "head hunger" under control. Like someone said, no one operated or fixed my head! I am doing my psychological/spiritual recovery every day. I use the treadmill every day 30 minutes because it is in my livingroom:) Best of luck, Rena RNY 4/30/08 Duke NC 110 lbs; 117 lbs lost forever!
