Newbie and looking for others

[Guest guest]

Hi there!

I had my Lap RNY on 6/7/05. I started out two weeks prior to that at

312 pounds (I'm 5'5 " ). My weight loss seemed to be awfully fast - I

was even starting to feel guilty at support group meetings. At least

I think I know why now. As of now, I weigh 168.

Not quite two weeks ago, I ended up in the emergency room with an

obstructed bowel. Turns out that my original " Y " had a defect -

probably dating back to my original surgery. At the time of my

obstruction, my " Y " had twisted itself and flipped over to the other

side of my stomach. They ended up removing that completely, and

building a new one for me, further down to avoid the scar tissue.

Has anyone here had this happen to them? I am really hoping to find

others, and to learn more about what the future may hold for me. I'll

be honest, I have real concerns about the things I have heard about

revisions. I could really use some reassurance!

Thanks so much, and I look forward to " meeting " some of you here!
