@lisalucier thank you so much for your response. Just knowing that someone out there who understands what I’m going through help so much. No the reason I lost weight is I had no appetite and basically you know when you’re constipated, you don’t feel like eating you already feel full. In addition, I was totally stressed not knowing what was wrong with me and when I get stressed, I’d lose my appetite. I will look into the surgeries you talked about. I am 73. I still weigh only 107 pounds which is fairly normal for me. However, I am thin skinne and bruise easily and they just didn’t think the sutures would hold. But thank you again. I’m going to give some thought to this. But in the end, I may make an appointment at Mayo and just get some final answers. My problem is I wonder if I am chasing solutions that just don’t exist. But at least if I hear it from a competent doctor then I’ll know
