I had RNYGB about 10 years ago, dropped from just 0ver 400 to 175 in 7 months, I have varied up to 210 and back down again since. I am currently at 178 so I would say it was a success, I developed strictures with what VA called an Anastomotic Ulcer between 2 strictures, they decided to use a balloon to open the strictures so I could swallow my pills. You can probably guess the result, one perforated intestine. It is amazing how little the VA knows about these procedures and it took years to get put on instant release meds, I am still on extended release omeprazole because that is the only option VA gives the Doctors, I have been on a feeding tube since Aug 2019 and just received another 3 months supply of solution, because of multiple strictures they are against trying anything else. So other than not being able to eat a hamburger in 10 years and now not being able to eat anything thicker than cream soup strained I am actually quite glad that I had the procedure. Now if I could get enough food in me so I quit winding up in the Hospital for Malnutrition I would be perfect, not the fault of the RNYGB
