Large weight gain

[soccerkaty 50]

I never had VSG but the reflux from my RNY is unbelievably terrible. My doctor won’t let me take PPI’s but it’s worse now post surgery than before. Ask your doc if you can take PPI’s and if you can use them liberally. I’m told it will get better with time but I’m nearly 3 weeks and not better.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum but wanted to post. I had the gastric bypass almost 10 years ago. Followed all the rules. Lost 130lbs and then gained 27 lbs back in the last 2 years.

From what I understand it isn't the pouch that stretches, it's the hole between the pouch and the intestines that stretches allowing more food through and can actually stretch your intestines, which is can be dangerous. Some patients who have gained weight have gone back and had the hole made smaller, back to the post-surgery size.

I have relost 13 lbs and have 14 to go....it's a daily lifestyle change that I have to stick to!

My sleeve was horribly stretched out from corrective surgeries to fix my leak. Because of that, I was extremely hungry and so wasn't compliant on the diet. Since RNY I definitely feel restriction!
