I am not sure if anyone can answer this for me but here goes. I am

2years out from my by pass surgery and very upset. When I had my

leak test the day after my surgery, I had to drink a second glass of

the yuky stuff while lying down beccause the tech told me I had the

largest stoma he had seen. The liquid was passing straight through

the pouch. It would not stay in the there long enough to see if the

pouch was leaking or not. At nine months, I quit losing. Slowly I

started to regain the weight cause I was always hungry. Part of it

is my fault because the old emotional eating habits came back with a

vengence. The more upset I got over not being " sucessful " , the more

I wanted to eat. I finally have begin to lose again by eating a high

protein no carb diet. I'm so confused and down. My wls buddies all

lost all of their excess weight and I feel like a whale again. Is it

all my fault? Or is there a physical problem with the stoma? To the

doctors, I am " none compliant " . I am very sad. Part of me feels like

I was let down by the surgeon and the other part guilty guilty.
