I am wanting to have a Revision..

I had an RNY 2004, almost 3 yrs. ago. has anybody had this done? If so, pelase tell me about it. How hard was it? Did it work? Would you recommend it? Thank you

no not had a revision, is something wrong with the RNY as to why you would want or need one? I have a friend that had the RNY in 01 and she never lost the weight, she wanted, then gained all she lost as well, she went to Weigh****chers and her tool is still working for her, with the ww, she has lost what she gained back and then some...

Karen, I had to have a revision 6 months after my RNY. For me, it was the only option since the stoma kept ripping (perforating, leaking). I would close up (sticture), and during the endo, it would rip. Did it work? Yes. Would I recommend it? For the reason I had it, yes, definately. It did start me all over again at 1 oz..but of course, I was only up to about 3-4 oz by then anyway. I am assuming that your stoma has stretch too big. That seems to be the most common reason a person who is a few years post-op contemplates having a revision. I would suggest your getting your surgeon involved in the decision making process. Perhaps a revision isn't needed, but just a getting back to basics and measuring everything. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Sherri

You can also go to the Duodenal Switch forum, there are lost of RNYers to DS revisions who you could talk to.
