In 2004 I had RNY. 287 pounds starting weight. 2016 I was down to 98 pounds and was told I had to have it reversed or die. Soooo surgery was reversed. Since it was reversed I have ballooned to 266. Ugh ???? The doctor that did my original RNY as well as reversal was going to sleeve me when I was healed if I gained. Well, I gained...and need surgery but he has passed away. So now I'm trying to decide what procedure is best as well as looking at a new doctor. Ugh New insurance kicks in May 1.
Anyone else go through anything like this?
Weight loss after a revision is about 20 pounds. Any additional loss will require diet and exercise. Multiply your goal weight by 10. That is what you will have to restrict your calories to for life to maintain your goal weight.
Multiply your current weight by 10. That is what you are eating to maintain what you weigh now.
Cutting 500 calories a day will result in one pound a week of loss. Cutting 1000 will result in two pounds a week. I belong to Weigh****chers, track my meals, and just added intermittent fasting. I think IF is very helpful in reducing my appetite.

As you probably already know, revisions, like band over bypass, stomaphyx, or other procedures result in about 20 pounds of temporary weight loss.
About 50% of people regain 50% of their lost weight by year 5. By year 10, many have regained all of the weight with extra pounds. RNY gives you about a two year window to lose about 100 pounds and to learn how to eat to maintain that loss.
Revising to a DS has helped some, but it a complicated procedure and there are only a few surgeons in the world who do it. There are some modified versions of DS. Whether you do another surgery or not, the key will be in changing your eating habits.
By year three, I accepted that I will have to be on a diet for life and went back to Weigh****chers. I am still a member.

Hello, I had a GBP revision on March 29, 2021, and so far I lost 21lbs. I was told that it will talk longer to lose weight after a revision. I had my initial GBP Jan 28, 2008, and within the last few years I gained a whopping 60lbs. Im hoping I lose what I gained. My friend told me with her revision she only lost 25lbs.
Hello all!
Its been a good while since my last visit to this site. I had the gastric bypass December 2006, and a band over bypass revision in 2013. Then had the band removed in 2014 because of complications. Never felt full, weight loss was slow, and it was causing issues with my swallowing, and continuous coughing. I am now even heavier than my original gastric weight. Gastric I got down to 160, I was 22 years old. Completely stupid, and alcohol was a huge factor in my life, as well as an abusive relationship which only worsened my drinking and eating. Having been over 10 years now and some therapy sessions later, I am finding it difficult to lose this weight. What are some recommendations for revision surgeries now? I'm so out of the loop with anything gastric surgery related. Thanks in advance.
Hello congratulations on the restart. I had a gastric bypass in 2010. I started at 314 and got down to 260. For the next 8 years I maintained from 260-270. This last year everything changed. I have gained 12 lbs and I have been frustrated with myself. I started to walk and drink more water but it wasn't enough to get my body restarted. Today my surgeon suggested I do a revision- the duodenal switch. I told him I know I need help but I feared the insurance would deny it.
Without giving you my biography- I suppose I'm saying I need support and I am willing to give support. You have got those!!?
Has anyone had
StomaphyX? - Gastric Bypass Revision?

I went from a sleeve (5 years ago) to a DS. I lost weight the first week. Nothing since, and I mean NOTHING.
I don't know what to do.
Has anyone experienced this?
Can you tell me who your dr is? I am currently talking with TLC about Overstitch but have to do the endoscopy first to see what we are dealing with. I live in Katy as well.
