I am a RNY surgery failure. My surgeon made my pouch and stoma too big and my bypass very short in 2006. I haven't felt like I have swallowed food since 2 weeks before my surgery when I was on the liquid diet. I actually have a photo of my wide open

I had a rny in 2006 and lost 14 lbs. Over the years, I regained the 14 lbs. and then 28 more pounds. If I wasn't constantly trying to keep from gaining I could easily be 400 lbs. Shortly after surgery a GI doctor did endoscopies and GI xrays which s

I am still struggling 10 years later. I wish I could be a success story like so many other people. My rny never worked correctly. I am grateful that I never told anyone I had the surgery. I assumed that all rnys are the same, but they are not. I w
