@Tomo Hello! I won't know what procedure or if I'll need one until my surgeon gets the results of the labs he's requested. The upper GI single w/contrast will determine if my pouch is stretched or if there are fistulas in the path to the remnant stomach. Now if everything looks fine then I'll need to review my eating habits with my nutritionist and map out a new way to reset. It's great that after 10 years your aunts pouch is still small. Hopefully she will find a way regain control of her snacking habits. It's not easy, but it is possible.

I had the roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery in 2018. My beginning weight was 290 and in less than a year I was down 100 lbs. I got pregnant at the end of 2019. I gained 30 lbs during that time and lost it all after 2 months of breast feeding. I breast fed until my son was 11 months and he was ON DEMAND. I had to increase my intake to produce more milk. I now have gained over 70 lbs since I stopped and tried intermittent fasting, Golo, high protein low carbs and nothing has worked. I go to my bariatric surgeon tomorrow and hope to get a green light on a revision as I know my pouch has increased in size as I can eat more than I used to. My energy level is at a 2 and I'm burnt out with my soon to be 3 yr old who is full of energy. I was on no medication after my surgery and now I'm taking 6 different prescriptions daily and its wearing me down mentally as well. My PCP and Psychiatrist are supportive as long as my bariatric surgeon is as well. I pray this goes well tomorrow. I hope to return with good news.

@LindsayT O no! I'm an open book. I don't mind sharing. I had a high risk pregnancy. Due to age and having had the GBS short of 2 yrs. I've got my little one and now I need my energy to keep up with him lol. I lost 96 lbs a little over a year after the surgery. I will get back on track one way or another 😃

@LindsayT Hey! To answer your question: I am not planning on having more children. My insurance does cover the revision and the appointment went well. I will have an Upper GI Single w/contrast done to determine if there is any disruption in my pouch or fistulas formed throughout the path to the remnant stomach. I'm scheduled to go back to my bariatric surgeon in 2 wks. to review the results and go over the next steps. Btw Lindsay you are doing an AMAZING job!! 41 lbs down in 6 weeks out of surgery, that is commendable 🤩👏 You rock!!! Keep up the good work!!
