Im researching and would like some information...

How many here are or were 500+ pounds and had a surgery other they the DS and are now or have gotten a Revision...what were your downfalls?  Did you stop following your protein diet on the other surgery either RNY or Gastric Sleeve?  How much weight did you lose on your original surgery?  Were there other complications that forced you to seek a revision?
