RNY Revision after 15 years, stalled out at 13 lbs.
I had RNY revision 3 weeks ago, lost 13 pounds in 10 days and then nothing... staying at the 13 for the past two weeks. I am taking in about 800 calories, up to maybe 900, a day... starting to walk a little. I was late to that due to pain boy, had a lot of pain this time. Anyone had this issue?

You are in the famous 3 week stall. Very common during the first weeks after surgery and a large weight loss.
Keep doing what you are doing and avoid the scale if possible. The weight will drop as long as you eat the way you are supposed to.

High Weight (2002) 240 Revision Weight (2010) 220 Current Weight 115.
That's such encouraging news! With my first time 'round I lost so steadily and consistently and I expected something similar but to know I am not alone is great! TY!

Utpoohbear: I had my RNY about the same time as you. I am interested in a revision. I have a doctor's appointment next week. Of course, my insurance will not cover this procedure. Self-pay is about $5,000. I would have to take out a loan. I have gained 10 pounds since last year. I feel so heavy! I was proud of myself for maintaining my weight for so long, though I never reached my goal weight. I now know so much more I am willing to abide by.
