Hi everyone I have been recommended to have the overstitch. As a revision.. has any one else had this done and what should I expect coming directly from someone who's had this done

Sadly, I've not heard of any sustained success stories, and very few immediate success stories at that.  Check the revision forum, but it doesn't look very hopeful in the long run.  If you want a revision, do something serious to get serious results.

I have watched people get the overstitch for the last 10 years.  None of them ever reported losing their regained weight and none of them ever stuck around on these boards.

 They seem to drop 10 or 20 pounds, mainly from the pre-op diet and then regain it once they heal up from their surgery.

Ask the person *****commended the overstitch to let you talk to someone who has had it.

I also agree with talking to people who had it done. If your surgeon recommended it, ask for names or go to a support group to see if anyone there has had it. I have been in the bariatric community almost 10 years now and know of no one with any success with it.
