I need a revision or another surgery!
Hi there WannaB Thin, (me too :))
There are probably better illustrations out in Google land but here's one that helped me figure things out. Hope it helps.

To be honest with you, he didn't really want to do it at first but I insisted and he said that he was glad he did the revision because I was gaining my weight back and it wasn't because I was overeating, I had a lot of scar tissue that was closing up the hole where the food went down so I threw up any food that was "good" and I could only eat sugar and chips, ice cream, things like that because they would dissolve and go down easier.
Stay persistent because being overweight is hard on your body and heart, etc. I am only a few pounds away from my goal weight and sure glad I insisted on having it done.
Hugs,
