RNY to ??
Hello,
I am looking for information/thoughts about revisions. I was thinking of something like the ROSE or band. I would like to avoid being cut open again. However I still have a LOT to lose so perhaps I should look at other choices.
I was 411 when I had my surgery. I got down to 178 and then shot back up to 230. *sigh* I feel as if I have failed. I have tried to diet. I have tried the 5 day pouch test. I have tried pretty much everything. However I still stay stuck...
Any suggestions?

DS is what I would shoot for.
Yes I had RNY. I have gotten to the point that I can not stand to eat meat. All the protein I get comes from shakes/mixes. I have IC so many of the foods that I ate at one time is now a no no. *sigh* It is a bit of a conundrum. Thank you all for your suggestions. Has any of you had revisions? I called my insurance today and they said it would be covered if it is medically necessary. I think the only thing they cover is RNY to DS. I was hoping to not be cut open again. My mother has had a horrid time with wound infections and it is a bit scary.
I think you'll find most folks posting here are revisions of one type or another.

I'm a revision from a VBG (an old stomach stapling) to a DS. I am VERY happy with my decision. Yeah, it was a drag being cut open, again. But I will tell you that it was about a month of "yuck" and now I'm 87 pounds down!! It was *so* worth it, though recovery was difficult... I will not lie to you.
In retrospect, it was a short time of suffering. And I am FREE of that freaking pouch!! Whoo-Hooo!! I am enjoying an almost *normal* style of eating. I eat meat, now, without fear of it getting stuck... can have my shrimp dipped in butter and not feel guilty about it. I find it easy to get my protein in. It's not perfect (I'd kill for a big, fluffy dinner roll, and a big bowl of ice cream), but I do NOT feel deprived like I used to!
The best of luck to you, regardless of what you decide
