I had Roux-en-Y in 2004 . My pouch enlarged and I had a lapband put in place in 2013 . I started having servere gas and stomach pain. Barium swallow showed an enlarged stoma and slipped lapband. The EGD showed no erosion and no slippage for the lapband. My doctor wants to pull the lapband, however i am afraid with an enlarged stoma my problem of gas and stomach discomfort will not end. What are my options?
I am a 27 yr old female. I have crohns and drug resistant depression and anxiety. I don;t seem to respond to low dose anything. I'm getting a gastric bypass. Will I metabolize meds better after surgery? I hardly sleep now and amber does nothing. I hope the lb loss helps me feel better and makes drug milligrams more level.
I had my roux en y in 2008 I lost 165lbs and kept it off until last year. I have regained 25lbs and suffer with malnutrition and anemia. I know my weight gain is from lack of exercise and poor food choices but the lack of energy to get more exercise is from the malnutrition and anemia. How can I fix this? I take all the vitamins and iron supplements and still nothing. I am suffering from High Dumping issues (intense drowsiness, feel drugged, sweating) now with every meal (healthy or not).
I had this Roux EN Y Bariatric surgery completed 22 years ago when I was 40. I lost from 400 lbs. to 210lbs and stayed there for about 6 weeks. Shortly there after I went up to 250lbs. and stayed at that weight until I reached age 55. I have gain up to 280 at this point and at age 62, I don't like this extra weight I have put back on. Is it possible to repeat the surgery again.
Hello everyone. First, before my question I will put some info about me: Age: 25 Height: 5 foot 5 Inches Weight Before Surgery: 348 Weight 6 months out ( Current ): 227.8 Goal Weight: 150 Since I am so young and I exercise and weight lift 4-6 days a week, will my skin tighten by itself? So far I don't haven't got much hanging skin, just on my arms and under my arms and a little on my thighs. Will it go away in time or will I need to have surgery? What other options besides surgery do I have?
I weight about 260 pounds and am 56. Im. Worried about the sagging skin after surgery because the loose skin I have now already gets red, raw, and is very painful. Im wheelchair bound due to an autoimmune disease. Do you have any suggestions?
