Does anyone have any information about having a DS/BPD done after a failed Roux-en-Y? Is this even possible? Are the risks increased?
I had a roux-en-y done approx 4 years ago and have gained back 120 of the 260lbs that I lost (almost half).

Hi

Post this on the DS board - there are quite a few DSers who were revised from RNY. It can certainly be done, but you need a good revision surgeon (and the list is short) - all revisions from everything to everything else are more risky than first time (scar tissue etc).
