Hi, DarlaRay145, I'm not sure what information you're looking for or what your questions are exactly, but I'm possibly headed that direction myself.
I'm 14 :-) years post op and had numerous complications, I've tried to give some insight in my past postings.
It's a difficult surgery, especially if you've had so many abdominal surgeries in the past, makes it that much more difficult for a surgeon to do.
My weigh in on my surgery date wad 239, since 2010 I can't get past 105, right now I'm 98 lbs, 5ft tall. I suffer from many chronic illnesses, my life has changed, my relationships, the medical expenses are killing me. And I did the surgery to be "skinny and happy", well I feel the absolute worst I've ever felt about myself now. Karma is kicking me in the ass.
It's a difficult decision to make, of course I worry about being 239 again, but I'm 44 & look 54 , malnourished ,which causes so many other problems...physically, mentally, emotionally, etc, etc
Are you considering this surgery and may I ask why?
I had the GBY with rny .
Take care.
