Hi Daisy,
Thanks for your feedback. I cannot agree more with you. I will begin researching the DS I am familiar with the procedure but I think I need a refresher course and a visit to see a surgeon as well. Thank you for this information, it's very helpful.

This is extremely helpful thank you for sharing. I will be sure to watch the videos. I appreciate it.

I would say that the sleeve would not be an option because you have already had RNY. I would look into the duodenal switch this is the most durable weight loss of all revision procedures however, also the most drastic as well.

JUST BECAUSE I CAN DOES NOT MEAN I SHOULD
Dr. Vuong has a lot of great videos on Youtube. You should watch some of them.
THIS one concerning the epidemic of revisions was good.

Sparkle kitty, could you be more specific are you certain that a revision is not possible? This are you saying that everyone who has revised will ultimately regain weight at some point? I think I'm confused.
Heather
Thanks your response. But I'm asking if a revision is possible if my anatomy has changed. Based on RNY surgery then a band. As you know since the stomach has stretched I'm wondering if it's possible.
While weight regain is a possibility with every surgery that is not in question.

What does your daily eating and activity look like?
Unless there is a mechanical issue with your surgery, a revision won't do anything. Bluntly, if you can gain weight (presumably due to eating habits?) after two surgeries, there's nothing preventing you from doing so after a third surgery.

Yes. I just had a revision on the 19th from RNY to Partial Gastrectomy with Gastrojejunostomy.So RNY surgeries before 2010 were made much larger. Mine was 4 times the size. Over the years I had complications though. For years suffering from nausea and vomiting and a hiatal hernia. I am grateful and hope you find the answers. Get on it dont wait. My revision journey started 2 yrs ago. Good luck
Thank you for the information. I have had the band removed about 3 years after surgery. I will consult a surgeon. So much about this surgery has changed since having it.
