It's sad that cases like this are what get the attention. I am 18 months post-op gastric bypass, living a new life with healthy habits after having lost 173#!! SHE is the exception to the surgery.

Hmm... 18 months

Think of every celebrity RNY patient.

Roseanne Bar, Carny Wilson, Al Rocker, Charlie Weis, ...

All are more than 2 years after RNY and all have gained most or all of their weight back.

I hope you will do well.

Sadly if you fail RNY is dangerous to revise...

Heavy or skinny, Carnie is sexy. She's got such a cool attitude and seems so down to earth. That's sexy.

She failed her surgery, the surgery did not fail her. She made very unwise choices (alcohol, for one, that she has admitted to). The surgery is a TOOL -- you are supposed to learn healthy choices along the way and commit to a new, healthy lifestyle. ALL weight loss surgeries, even your MGB, can have the same re-gain results if the patient fails to follow a healthy lifestyle.

The surgery didnt fail....it did its job and she lost weight, but she failed to figure out why she gained weight in the first place and didnt correct that problem. Surgery is only a temporary tool to help lose weight - you must learn to deal with your emotions and make better food choices. I feel bad for her being in the spot light and gaining weight back - its embarrassing enough gaining weight, then having people point it out must be horrible!

now its 4 yrs later since I stop taking the diet pills I gained back the weight

[velvette33]

I didnt loose much weight at all . 9 months after the surgery I had only lost 15 lb.Then my Doctor prescribe me phenteramine diet pills. Then I began to loose 40 lb then It stop. @ yrs later my weight is the same . No more lost but maintain.

I had RNY myself back in 2007. This surgery had failed me.

You must deal with the psychological reasons of why you over eat. Surgery only solves the physical problem(s). In the end, Carrie gained most of her weight back because psychologically it was a too drastic change of lifestyle. Unfortunately that happens to a lot of people who go through with the surgery. Trying to eat 1/2-1 cup of food daily for the rest of your life is unreasonable and unhealthy. Carrie is a beautiful and talented woman just the way she is. Self-discovery = weight lost.

She is and will always be hotter the fatter she gets.

[CheekyThrill]

She's still one hundred pounds thinner. I don't call that a "fail". One hundred pounds is a LOT of weight! She's still healthier than before and should consider this a set-back and get on with it!

[CheekyThrill]

@rexxcarz Why do you call it the "evil RNY" ? If it's helped you, why not appreciate it?

[CheekyThrill]

@DrRRutledge Thinking of the celebrity RNY patients does not give one a clear view of the outcomes. The fact of the matter is that people who are morbidly obese and lose the weight on their own (without the aid of surgery) will have gained back the weight (and then some) 95% of the time within 2 years. However, those who have surgery will have gained back SOME of the weight (not all!) have an 85% chance of successfully keeping off the majority of the excess weight. Those odds are better.
