Had rny 9 years ago ~ need a revision

I just recently had a revised rny. After major life changes and 2 babies I gained almost all of my weight back. It took about 2 weeks for insurance to approve everything. Good luck.

How long did it take to recover? Did they just resize the pouch?

I had RNY in 2000, gained part of my weight back and had a revision to DS Dec. 2011. I have lost all my excess weight and am 10# from goal. It has been a blessing and would recommend it to anyone. I was self-pay...my ins. did not cover any weightloss surgery. Best wishes with whatever you decide.

Wow your insurance wouldn't cover it? I am afraid of actually losing part of my stomach even though I'm not using it. I have had ulcers and if I don't know what would happen if it needed to be repaired. Was the surgery hard for you? Do you wish you had the DS instead of the RNY in the begining? I wish you a very speedy 10lb loss  and congrats to all of your weight loss.

Here is an interesting talk dealing with revisions. I hope some find it helpful:

 I am in the same boat Lisa our RNY dates are a week apart i was 7-7-03. I have an appt 7-3 to see about revision. I will post my progress an i will continue to watch and listen for advice. I don't know what to expect I changed insurance and I am going some place new. They didn't seem thrilled but I am not either but I would have to wait untill January to go back to my initial place. I would love any advice on the topic of revision or getting back on trac****ill the revision??/

 untill the revision sorry about typeo
