Thanks Shele, sorry that was not the right revision for you. Is it possible for you to pursue getting the real deal?

Yes it is possible, just have to wait a while. I am planing on next spring to be able to get it revised to a ds.

Hi Lisa, I had RNY in 2004 lost 122lbs stayed there for about 4 years, slowly started gaining had a baby in 2009 and couldn't lose a damn pound.  The opening to my pouch was large plus I suffered horribly with hypoglycemia.  Dr. Roslin did my RNY to DS revision on 9/26/11 and to date I have lost 74lbs and almost back to my original RNY weight. 

My recovery time was better than my RNY and I feel great.  I would take the time to explore all options and ask the vets. 

Good luck to you in your journey.

Best,
Frankie
