Im not sure if you had the lap band or not, but having your pouch grow doesnt seem like the worst possible scenario - sucks, but a lot of people come close to losing their life with that thing. 

Have you researched all your options for WLS and revisions? With the RNY, you are going to end up with another pouch and stoma that are capable of stretching. I am definitely biased since Ive had the VSG, but have you considered the sleeve? 

I'm glad to hear you were able to get some answers though, and I wish you the best with your revision!

I had the sleeve two years ago. Lost 55 pounds in six months. And slowly gained 20. But since i can remember i always ate alot.....

Did you ever have an upper GI or anything right after you did your sleeve? Im wondering how you would know if your stomach stretched or if it was made large to begin with?

Have you considered the DS? I would think it would be better to keep your stomach as it is with the pyloric valve and add the malabsorption than to go with the RNY? With the RNY you are only going to get a temporary benefit of malabsorption and then you wlll end up back with a restrictive only procedure. 

Id be afraid to have my sleeve looked at - im sure ive stretched it :-p

Yea, two days after my surgery they did an x - ray.. they do it to check if you have leakage... and it shows a very narrow tiny sleeve.. they gave me the x-rays.... so i decided to get it checked out again... only because im amazed on how much i eat... i dont eat near what i ate b 4 surgery but i eat more than i should.... my doc thinks the ds would leave me skeleton, im 4"11 weigh 184. I defenatly dont want to be super thin.. i want to be healthy and beatiful. how much do u eat...?
