It's been a little more than a year now since I've had a revision to the gastric bypass surgery. I don't feel as if I am loosing weight anymore. I am beginning to wonder if something is wrong with the surgery. I also have a problem getting enough protein without all the carbs. My mom just had a gastric bypass last month, and they told her so many different things from what I was told, so who is correct? I am confused and depressed, anyone out there who is willing to talk to me, to give me some help and support? Please email me @ ****[email protected] Thanks in advance... Tracie

Tracie, Did you have a revision from RNY to RNY - i.e., a stoma tightening or something? Or were you converted to a different form of WLS? Studies are starting to show that RNY failure rates are pretty high. It's nothing you've done - it has everything to do with the failings of the surgery. Some people do GREAT with the RNY. A whole bunch of people don't. There are some great yahoo groups that support people who have had or are seeking out revisions. Let me know if I can help lead you to them at all, if you're interested, okay? You're in my thoughts! dina
