Would like a revision

Hello all, I would like a revision.... How would I go about getting one done? I really need one I think, don't know if my surgeon would think so or not but woulod hope he would also. I have gained weight and stop eatting. I have posted on other boards about being depressed since my last surgery a couple months ago. But don't want to gain any more weight. But I can't stop eatting. What to do? Do I talk to my surgeon or should I wait it out?any idea's let me know please !!!

what kind of surgery did you have in the past, how long ago and what is your wt at present and bmi

Hello I had a rny back in 2001... I weight about 175ishnot sure on my BMI I think it is around 30? not to sure on weight and BMI. But I know that I need to have a revision or at least I believe I do.

Your BMI is probably not high enough to qualify for a revision. Unfortunately, it may not help you as well unless you can change your eating habits since it's likely you would just regain the weight. Could you try some counseling, join a gym and meet with a nutritionist? I think RNY can be really, really hard and sometimes people don't realize how hard it is because we all lose pretty easily early out. But it's just a tool. If we don't get some counseling, stay in a good support group, exercise, and totally change our eating habits for the rest of our lives, we just don't have a prayer of keeping this weight off. A revision might help someone lose the weight, but 2 years later it will just be regained unless you get a handle on the food issue itself. You admit you can't stop eating. A revision will not help with that. You could have several revisions, get down to 110, and still regain all your weight. I would ask your surgeon if he can recommend a good therapist, support group, and get with a good dietician or nutritionist and follow their recommendations. That's the only thing that's going to work. Our RNYs give us a window of opportunity to jump start our weight loss, but that's all. It's the same with a revision unless there actually is something really wrong with your stoma or pouch. I guess the thing to start with is an upper GI, endoscopy and then see where you stand. The most important thing though, whatever you do, is to try to get a handle on why you are compulsively eating or no surgery is going to help. We're all here for you though! All of us know how hard it is.
