Re: staple line disruption

[Guest guest]

Could you please tell me what wls you had?

I had VBG 7 yrs ago and gained back 60 lbs in the last

2 yrs. I can sometimes eat a lot and other times very

little but graze all day while I'm home.

I talked with the doctor today that did my surgery and

he wants me to come back for a scope to see if all is

in tact. That's 2 provinces over. I'm also considering

RNY and that's in the same province too. So I think

I'll see both doctor's in the same trip. Have to find

out if it's covered thru my insurance.

I guess I'll soon be facing this same question.

Is there anyone out there who had a revision or their

same type over again? What was it like compared to the

first?

I had a c-section about 6 yrs before wls and found

that to be far more painful than the VBG.

What would others say?

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers Darlene. Stay

positive too, eh?

Bev, I have noticed an increase in gas too. Some times

it's all day or evening long as often as 10 minutes

apart. Gross I know but we need to discuss these

things guys. SORRY

Maybe I do have a disruption too. Well, I'll soon find

out.

I do hope you find the support here that you deserve.

Some people have no idea what we have/are going thru.

We understand!

Take care because WE CARE!
