Why do they want you to come back in 6 months if they don't do revisions?
There have been many revisions that have done well.  I am a revision and I have been doing good to this point.  Of course I had to do a lot of work on my food addiction and really look at why I regained.  Otherwise a revision is just a waste of time.  If I would have kept doing what I was doing I would have failed a revision, too.
That doesn't apply for people *****gained because of failure of their WLS of course.  For me, my surgery was fine when I ate right but no surgery will work if you don't change destructive habits.
I am sure you can find another surgeon who would be willing to give you a revision.  

WLS 10/28/2002 Revision 7/23/2010

High Weight  (2002) 240 Revision Weight (2010) 220 Current Weight 115.

Find another surgeon, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! There are thousands of revisions that are very successful. They evidently don't know how to do them and are just stringing you along. Find a real surgeon!

I had a revision in 08 and I've been at goal for 4 years now. 

What surgery type do you have and what are you wanting to revise to?
