Thank you so much for the positivity.

In 2009 I had the RNY bypass. After a year and some and some changed I received news that I was pregnant (October 2010). March of 2011, was the worst day of my life. I delivered my first child at 19 weeks and held him in my arms until he stopped breathing. In deep depression I lost a lot of weight, I then again became extremely happy when I found out I was expecting again. I delivered my first healthy child June of 2012. Then I had my next healthy child November 2013 and my last and third healthy child November 2014. During all these pregnancy I could not manage to check the extra pounds. My lowest weight was roughly 200lbs. I am now 270 and it's my biggest failure. I have tried to lose the weight on my own but just can't seem to stay on track. Doctors have recently advised me that I have a gastric fistula and a hitial hernia. Also, the opening to my intestine which is connected to my pouch has a huge opening. This is why I never feel full, my food is being rerouted into my other portion of my stomach as well as being pushed through faster to my intestine. I have now started the process to have a revision which they will also correct the fistula, hernia and opening to the intestine. I have been advised that I will not lose a lot of weight as before but this revision will help me feel full longer which will lead to weight loss. I haven't gained that much and my weight has pretty much stayed the same over the last 4.5 years. I just need a little help to get me back on track.
