I am 7 years and 8 months out. My surgery actually saved my life. I had lost down to 167 pounds until May of 2011. My son passed away unexpectedly and I turned to food and wine.It is amazing how fast you can put weight back on. I really took a real hard look at myself this past weekend and told myself to snap out of it and get back on track. I have come way to far! I have had absolutely no complications other than reactive hypoglycemia. I just need to find that "way of life" again. Do you have any info on the 5 day pouch test?

Hello-Sally here! Found this site from Facebook. I had my R-N-Y March of 2003. I am very happy I had the surgery and did lose over 100lbs. But the old habits came back and I've gained 18-20 back. I feel good now but the scale numbers aren't what I'd like them to be. In the past 7-8 years I've had a tummy tuck - which was good but painful-- the only trouble is my stomachs flat but my additional fat/flub above my waist is still there. Due to my age and weight before my knees aren't great. But My Pre-Diabetes was gone immediately. HIGHLY reccommend the surgery.

sally.we haven't written to eachother butI am in the same boat with you. I never had the money to do a tummy tuck and as I described to Letrell Ilost my butt in exchange for a fatty apron and goat teets. keep me posted on your progress.patti

cindy I have been doing some research about the 5 day pouch test. It is on the internet and I am really excited. It is a 5 day plan to reunite us with our pouch and get back on the track. wow I could sure use some freedom from guilt for regaining any weight I worked so hard to lose. She has a book you can order but all of the information for the basics are there. let me know what you think.patti
