Revision RNY in Mass.
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.

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