Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 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. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
