Just to refresh all of you, I had a proximal RNY 2 years ago. Since I

was 3 months out, I never got full eating what the surgeon said I should

eat. I never felt full. I didn't dump, I just kept whining that

everything was to big. My surgeon has horrible follow-up. WHen he

continued to tell me I shouldn't be eating more than 800 calories a day,

I stopped going to him.

I'm two years out and 38 pounds down from my weight pre-RNY. I just

went to another surgeon who did a barium swallow. He didn't have exact

figures because it was lunchtime, he couldn't call a radiologist and get

them. He said my stomach looks to be 8-12 ounces. He said my stoma

looks fine. We talked about a revision of the original RNY. He said

they are a lot riskier. He had trouble understand my original surgeons

report which I thought was interesting.

I've been dieting and exercising for the past 2 months and lost 17

pounds. I don't know what to do. It's like I never had the surgery at

all. If I wasn't anemic and taking B-12 shots every 2 weeks, I would

really wonder.

THe surgeon I saw does not work with insurance companies unless they

accept out of plan docs and mine won't. Do I just spend the rest of my

life trying to lose or do I consider a revision? If it didn't work

before, will it work this time? Do I really want to spend the rest of

my life weighing just under 300 pounds? I'm scared....
