Anyone have 2 Revision Surgeries?

Checking to see if anyone out there actually had 3 surgeries?  This is my history on weight loss surgery:

Lap Band - April 2008, lost 17 lbs gained 15

Gastric Sleeve - May 2009, lost 30 lbs gained 15

Going to have DS or Gastric Bypass - ??? 2013

I'm 51 years old.  Is there anyone here want to share their experience?

 

Thanks!

I have had two friends die from having revision surgeries this last year.  Even with the weight gain, I would never have a revision.  It's all a matter of self control, of which very few of the people of our country have anymore.  I would like to be thin but it's not worth dying for in my opinion....

You need malabsorption. Then really make a commitment to lose the weight. It will be so much easier when you have a surgery that works for you

I don't think you "need" malabsorption. It doesn't last long in the grand scheme of WLS life and maintenance.

There comes a point where YOU have to make the surgery work. 

i am having a revision on may 3rd i had surgery may 2010 in mexico i lost 40 something pds i started to gain weight 5-6 months after the surgery. long story short. i brought the xray to my new dr and he said that my former dr never took out my " fundus " im sooooooooooooo pissed i paid out of pocket .
thank God i am covered this time around . not usre if he will be trimming up wiaht the former dr didnt do or do a bypass in all honestly i want the " malabsorbation"
part of it . but hes going to do what is best for me hell know better once hes in there .

hmm... I am questioning what is goin on here, you offered very little in the way of details. my insurance wouldn't even consider revision surgery unless I was 5 years out and considered a failure, why then did you get a gastric sleeve 1 year after having lap band surgery? this seems very odd to me.

also from your photos and weights posted, you do not look morbidly obese or even obese to be getting surgery. maybe overweight, but to warrant getting cut open and surgery  seems very extreme to me in your case. most people who get these surgeries are morbidly obese and are prob. going to die without it, why does that not seem like the case with you?

I am struggling with the idea of getting revision surgery and you are getting one every few years, there is something going on here that both you and doctors aren't even addressing.

This is me.

Lap-Band 2001.

Sleeve 2007.

Going for DS either later this year or next. :)
