Alicia...I am hoping that you are feeling better now. Speaking as a veteran of RNY Gastric Bypass surgery 12,18 2000, you will face many challenges. I am just hoping that I will not have to spend this Christmas in the hospital. Last Christmas I had a total bowel obstruction secondary to bypass surgery. I forgot also had to have a ventral hernia repair 6 months out from surgery. I have had 2 GI Bleeds. I had to have to have the bowel resection revised because I lost too much weight. I would have starved to death if not for my husband. I was so afraid of gaining my weight back I refused to call my doctor. I would still have the surgery again, otherwise, I believe I would not be alive. Give it some time....the surgery effects everyone differently.
