@nova1976 I’m finally going to talk to someone in the Bariatric dept. about surgery. They will likely recommend RNY. I’ve been trying to research as much as I can but what do you mean when you say “ Lots of adhesions intestinal resections loss of appendix Gall bladder”? Are these all complications from your surgery?

@cindykk2 Some people have scaring more than others
Most of the time not a problem
In my case they banded around appendix and gallbatter
As well as area of intestines. This caused a blockage The doctors did a resection
To avoid trying to remove adhesions and accidentally nicking intestestines causing a leak
Being thin for the first time of my life was worth it
I had the RNY a bypass 10 yrs already and am 155
Best of luck to you
