is revision weight loss slower?

According to surgeons I have worked with the body does become metabolically stubborn after weight loss surgery. Therfore it does tend to make weight loss the second time around slower, but you do lose.

I had a revision and didn't lose slower. But my revision was from a slipped and eroded lapband. I've lost down to goal in a year and a half. I'm at 106 pounds now.

The statistics are skewed because they include people who are non-compliant and that was the reason they didn't lose with the first surgery. Then if they are not as compliant with the second, the weight loss is slower or non-existent, which is what skews the statistics.

If you follow what you are supposed to be doing, I think you'll lose just like a first time RNY'er. I did.

I just wanted to add that for me it is slower, but I pay attention to what I eat and if the scale goes up, which it went up 2 pounds last weekend, I remember what I did different and don't do it anymore. I'm learning my body all over again. I have been kind of discouraged over the weight loss because it seemed to stop once I started eating food and not just drinking. I had lost 22 pounds at a few weeks out with just taking in fluids. Then when I started eating I didn't lose anything for a few weeks then I went back and forth the same five pounds for a couple of weeks. Now this past week on Monday morning I had gone back up to 250, but this morning I weighed in at 246. I'm just mainly eating protein with a few vegetables (normally as a snack) and I'm in the gym every day walking and then taking a water aerobics class. It is not at all coming off like it was with my original rny, but it is coming off.
