Most people who are revising from the RNY usually go for the full DS, not just the VSG. Maybe you are talking about the BOB, where the surgeon places a band over the RNY pouch for renewed restriction?
VSG = Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (the sleeve portion of the DS surgery)
VBG = Vertical Band Gastroplasty (non-adjustable band, sometimes done with stapling)
BOB = Band Over Bypass (lapband over pouch)
