Staple line disruption

[Guest guest]

Thanks Lori for the thought. My surgery is fine. I was transected, and

can hold very little food...which tells me all is working fine. I hope you

get yours fixed, and you have a happy ending. My ending is really happy,

although it was happier than I had anticipated, before. I got below goal.

But now I'm on the high end of normal...and am not liking it here.

Especially when it seems my body just wants to save everything that goes

down the tube....and I'm talking protein shakes for the most part. I'm

doing everything I once did to lose 184 lbs...I haven't increased my intake,

in fact, I've decreased it. I'm living in perpetual " starvation mode " and

where I could see that would keep a person from losing, I don't understand

the gain! I'm NOT really starving as I do 5-6 protein shakes a day. Very

little food can get in past all that and 70 pills a day plus water. I hit

the three year wall, HARD...and only wish I WAS doing something that I could

quit! If it were a surgical failure, I couldn't afford to have it fixed

anyway. But I'm convinced it is not. I had a very good one, by Dr's Fox

and Oh. Only thing I'm wishing now is that I had gone more distal. But, I

m sure, my body would catch on to that too eventually. Sigh. I have a 60

inch common channel, which SHOULD be perfectly good for maintaining my great

weight loss.

I am so sorry that I missed this original post. I have been away for a

few days. Have you considered having a scope done? I discovered a

staple line disruption that was repaired this last Wednesday. I had

gained some 50 lbs back after loosing 180. It certainly would be worth

investigating.
