I am happy to have found this group! I had open RNY in Mexico in 2006, highest weight was 450 and within a year and a half I had lost 200lbs. I pretty much was stuck at 250 for years and then got pregnant. OB told me I needed to eat anything and everything I could as I was losing weight in my late 2nd trimester and was down 25lbs. This was like tossing a kid into a candy bin, I had a free pass to eat whatever I could handle and gain weight so my baby could be healthy. I was back up to 250 in no time and my son was born healthy. December 2012 I had a DVT in my lower leg and put on blood thinners. Now, the Dr would never say but I gained 45lbs in 4 mths despite watching my diet and exercising. I tried telling him something was wrong and that looking on the internet I did find people complaining of large weight gain on the medicine but he wouldn't listen. 2mths later I took myself off the medication and stopped gaining but now cannot lose weight. I am not gaining but it isn't going away either. I am having an Endoscope done to see what shape my tool is in as I never had any followup since it was in Mexico. I am hoping for a revision to help me once again but we shall see what the tests reveal. Looking forward to posting my journey and reading about yours!
