If your ticker is correct, you'd not qualify for anything. You need to meet the criteria same as you would have needed to meet it for your first surgery. If it's just a small regain, why not just go back to basics? FYI, it's duodenal switch and your surgeon does RNY not RYN. If your BMI is high enough to qualify then all you can do it ask for referral back to the registry for a revision. You likely wouldn't get the same surgeon as you did the first time as virgin surgeries are far easier than revisions and not all surgeons do revisions.
