Call your surgeon and discuss it with him,  there are revisions that can be done, but you need to talk to your doc.

Gain it back
I'm only 18 months out and at a stall had to go back and reread all the infor that was given to me at surgery time.  There are  some that have trouble with the first surgery,But i have a friend I use that lightly because she now have an attutide with me she has regain a lot of her weight back.  But I've seen her eating anand drinking exlarge coke,fries, and a Big Mack at one set down.Eating and drinking not supposed to do,soda not even fires give me a break.  So looking at her made me go back to the beginning again.GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY NEW YEARS

First of all, I am sorry to hear that you are gaining.  I myself put back on 40lbs so I know the trauma that comes with it.  Medically you are going to want to have someone check and see if there is a reason for the weight gain.  Most doctors will want to do a EGD or an EGJ to see if the surgery has been distorted.  Mentally you are going to want to do what we have have to do at some point and take stock and what you may be doing to facilitate this.  Try going back to the beginning and seeing is you have forgotten what your bariatric eatting is supposed to be.  I know that I for one am back at square one.

Good Luck

Also there are a revision forums on here and they might have additional information.

Where there is something medically that can be done, you need to find out if your problem is medical or if you need to get back to the basic. Also, depending on your height, you may not qualify for WLS at 210, but only your doctor can answer that for you.

You need to be frank with yourself and ask the following questions.

1.  Am I eating the way I should be eating, protein, veggie, starch.

2.  Am I not eating with my meals.

3.  Am I drinking the right amount of water

4.  Am I getting the exercise in or am I thinking WLS is a miracle and the weight should drop off and stay off without any work on my part.

I am not trying to be mean, however I have seen too many post such as yours where the first thought is to go back under the knife, without being honest that they just not doing what they suppose to do and no amount of surgeries is going to work if one does not do their part.

Good luck
