Since u all know my complications I wanted to share what it looks like to fight to save your life. Somebody tells you this is easy feel free to show them my photos and ask "does that look easy" some may be graphic so be warned.

The pic w the sign was me in icy after my second peg surgery. I developed staph pneumonia. The one of my leg was severe phlebitis caused from a failed IV inserted in my foot. The one with my son is when I was first hospitalized and developed epilepsy. The one of me smiling was when I woke up after two weeks of be unconscious from seizures and malnutrition. . The one of the blood in the iv my first blood transfusion. The bruises on my arms was my 24th IV blown.

I'm not sure because im now having severe esphogaus spasms and the pain is very intense. My weight is dropping again also because its hard to eat when it feels like somebody wedged a corn cob in my throat. I drink a lot of shakes I can get that down its food that's the issue now so who knows I'm confident I will be going through a egd again soon though its up to this new bari Dr I see.

I'm so sorry you are having all the problems due to RNY Do you regret having surgery? I am 1 yr. post op on the 9th with no complications "yet". I did have my gallbladder removed 10 wks. after RNY surgery, I with I would have know to have my GB checked PRIOR to RNY because I would have had him take it out. My GB was loaded with stones that were there prior to surgery. Other than that I feel fantastic.

I work for a organ and tissue transplant foundation and totally with you on education about transplantation

Awesome!!! Its donate life month I love this month.

To be honest I don't regret it bc that path led me to my life now. My life now is full of happiness and its not due to my size its based on the fact I grew a backbone and wouldn't let myself settle for less than what I deserve. GB changed my life in a lot of ways. When its bad its bad like icu bad. When its good its amazing. Rny journey not only removes the morbidities it also removes the toxins in your life or opens your eyes to them. I say its the harshest reality check you will ever have. What scares me is getting sick and there be no remedy costing my kids their life with a mom. . .that's terrifying. While that thought is there I say to myself if that does happen its no ones fault but mine i died from electing a surgery and making my children orphans. That's hard to deal with its almost a constant battle of weighing pros-cons. So to answer ur question if I don't die from this and I love to see my grandkids birth yes I'd do it again...if not I hurt and abandon my kids forever and that would be a yes I regret it. Double edge there....kinda stinks.
