4 years and gaing weight back want revision

I'm confused - what is it that they can revise? If your upper GI is normal, sounds like everything is as it should be. Unfortunately, weight loss surgery is a tool. It gets harder as time goes on and we have to work at it really hard. Have you tried increasing your exercise? I agree with Jennifer's assessment too re getting together with a nutritionist. Without assessing why you're regaining and what the tools are that you need to lose, I'm afraid a revision might not be successful in the long-run. That may be what your doctor is trying to say to you. While we do have the honeymoon period of the initial weight loss, without a true change in eating habits long-term, it won't work for any of us. Are you taking bariatric vitamins and supplements for the vitamin deficiency?

I'm so sorry your physician isn't more sympathetic though. I think he may have your best interests at heart and may be trying to push you in the right direction. A revision surgery is always more dangerous and he may want you to go the less invasive, safer route first.

 Thanks so much all of the advice makes me feel better just hearing. My years post RNY have been great and I do feel I am a success story. Lately my health that has nothing to do with the surgery is probably my biggest problem. I was doing great loosing until I had a female procedure called Novasure instead of a TAH (total abdominal hysterrectomy) since then I have been diagnosed menopausal and I stay hungry. I still can't eat a regular size meal and i do not eat anywhere near as i used to. My problem I feel is grazing during and between meals due to my blood sugar going so low. I am going to do as some of you said and see if I can see a nutritionist and maybe follow-up with my surgeon again and go from there. I have had so many friends who are gaining and they have had the lap band etc. put on over RNY and that is kinda scary for me at this time. If I can help any of you guys let me know. I can offer some words from someone being 4 years out. I can say do not ever start grazing on crackers and easy on the system stuff cause it will be a problem later on. Thanks so much for the guidence I needed it. I hope I can get back on track.

I am having a revision.  My doctor is very willing to do it.  His name is Dr. Paul Enochs, from Cary, NC.  He is a wonderful surgeon.
