She had the JIB procedure done when she was 23 in 1975 for weight control. Since then, she has developed severe arthritis, recurring oxelate kidney stones, mineral deficincies, fatigue and chronic loose bowel movements. It has been getting progressively worse to the point where she has trouble eating by getting full very quickly and experiences severe gas and bloating 24/7. I finally think enough is enough and have begun the search for a JIB reversal. I found a doctor at Beth Israel in NY, Dr. Elliot Goodman who is a bariatric surgeon who is capable of performing the surgery and who is encouraging it. My mother does not have medical insurance and the procedure would cost between 20-25,000. Any help out there or other ideas ? Hope this helps.

I've watched my best friend who had it done in the early 70's at the age of 15 become sicker, weaker and live in pain every day. She's now at the hospital with a ventilator and they don't know what is going on after a neighbor found her unconscious. My heart goes out to all who have to go through this and just hope you are well. She's also out of insurance because from the surgery she's never been accepted. She's got a 16 yr old and she's all he's got. Please let us know how it went for you as your post is from last year. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for good health. Hello, Karron

I have been hospitalized 2 times from life threatening sepsis due to the bacterial overgrowth in the bypassed part of my small intestine. I take 20mg of prednisone a day and 500mg of Cipro and antibiotic a day. My quality of life has been non existent for many years. But I have finally found a surgeon who is going to reverse the JIB and give me a gastric sleeve just like the man in this article. I am so happy to be getting my life back!!! I would love to share emails and communicate with others like me. I had a JIB in 1975 and have had years of immune complex arthritis, polyarthritis, and have developed Lupis.
