How do you know???
Hi there!
Reasons for a Revision?
1. Not at desired weight. (either never got there or have had regain or both)
2. Medical Necessity.
3. Better Quality of life.
4. Have tried to be compliant with diet and exercise and go up and down (yo-yo).
Reasons for a 1st surgery?
same as 1, 2, 3, & 4 above.
Some people get hung up with the heavy guilt thing of Revisions. They feel they've failed, they feel the surgeon screwed up, they feel others are judging them for not being teeny tiny and perfect!
I think we all went through similar head issues with our first rounds. ...... the bottom line is that if YOU are willing to go through another procedure to improve your health then it's grounds to consider a revision!
Revisions come in many packages. Do oodles of research to find the right one for YOU.......by the right surgeon!
2nd chances are a gift!
