I had laparoscopic rny gastric bypass in 2005. My weight got down to 140, I'm now 200. Is revision an option for me?

I'm in almost the same scenario. RNY in 05 lost almost 100 and gained most back. I'm meeting with surgeon and doctors to see what can be done, but it looks like I will be having a revision. How long after surgery did regain begin?

Regain started about 4-5 years ago. Started to be able to rate more. I got hungry more. I'm thinking the pouch just stretched out over time. 

Today I found out my insurance (Medica) doesn't cover it. I'll probably have to get an prior authorization for it. I'm sure that's gonna be fun.

Hi, I'm in the same situation.  Had RNY 2/2008 gained back 50lbs.  I want a revision but not sure which one is the best. Which revision is best after Lap RNY?
