Well, I haven't been on OH for a long, long time. I originally had RNY in 8/2003. My original weight pre-surgery was around 290. I stopped losing pretty much after 6 or 8 months - only getting down to 230lbs. Since then, I've gained and am back up to 250 lbs. That's including doing Adkins, South Beach, Jenny Craig, and now the diabetic exchange program that the nutritionist put me on. Nothing works. I go between working out like crazy to doing absolutely nothing .. no difference either way. Now I try to do yoga regularly since I'm also dealing with fibromyalgia, but I'm not doing much else.
Starting in 2005, ulcers have been my biggest problem. I have been scoped so many times and am always on some kind of medication, although my insurance formulary keeps excluding everything but OTC meds, which sucks.
I am getting scoped for the lastest bout of ulcers this Friday and am hoping that my surgeon will agree to pursue a revision to DS so that I can finally put a stop to this. I don't smoke or drink, and this time around have completely given up anything that might have caffeine in it. We'll see .. I have Aetna now, so no idea what they will say. I certainly can't afford it on my own. *SIGH*
