Are any of you revision seekers doing any research at all?
I just can't believe that I see so many seeking revisions to rny.
It has a HIGH rate of failure people! Please reseach before you revise to another surgery that is likely to let you down!!!

what are you revising from? and to?
I just can't believe that people are still revising to the band (bob), rny to rny? why?
I made the same mistakes, but there is so much more info out now, than when I had rny in 04. I let myself be convinced that disal revision would be the same as ds, it is not. I was told, wish I would have heeded the advice.

Sure we all did our research. We all had to make individual decisions what is best for each of us. I'm glad you love your DS. There are people that HATE theirs. There are revisions from DS too.
Good luck. I won't support your choice to surgery slam!

It is well known that rny has a high failure rate, but you already know that because you did the research.
Things that make you go hmmm...

With that said..what is suggested? RNY in 2002, gained about 60 lbs back. I just figured I would do the rny again??
Sexyvt123, how much did you lose when you had your DS? I meet with the PA on Thursday 11-10-11 to discuss my procedure. Should I have the DS?
