I was wondering if anyone has had a RNY and then a lapband. I had my RNY in 12/2003 and I only lost 102 lbs (and that is including my Plastic Surgery) and now I have gained 15 lbs back. I am so upset with myself. I don't eat sweets - they still make me soooo sick - thank god. But I have noticed that my portion sizes are bigger than they were even a couple months ago. So I have been trying to decrease my portions and increasing my water and drinking more proteins shakes and I just feel hungry all the time. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Chris

Hi Chris, I am also a revision but from a VBG to a Distal RNY. I belong to the Yahoo revision group and several people have talked about getting a LapBand over their RNY. Several have had lots of problems. I would go to their website and talk to them. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WLSrevisionsupport/ I hope this helps and good luck to you!!! Robin
