For most people a revision results in about a 20 pound weight loss. Part of that is from the liquid diet before and after the revision. When we get first surgery they are taking a stomach that can hold the amount of a two-liter soda bottle and reducing it to the size of an egg or even smaller.rr
We learn how to eat enough calories to gain weight, even with a very small stomach. The revision makes it a little smaller but most of us can easily just eat smaller meals a bit more often and weight stays pretty much the same.
If you read the revision board you will see many with high hopes and expectations before revision but very rarely anyone posting success after the first month or so.
The secret to losing the weight again is just to eat less calories than you burn. I found Weigh****chers new program extremely helpful. It took more than two years to lose 30 pounds but it did stay off. I highly recommend you start with the book, The Shift by Gary Foster.
You can lose the weight without another surgery. If you have another surgery, you still have to reduce calories for any lasting weight loss.

How is it going? Pros? Cons? I'm thinking about it. Lost 125 with rny, 19 years ago. I've gained back half ? I was 37 then now I'm 55...
Hi, I am thinking about getting resleeved also it's been since 2010 I was sleeved and this last year I put my weight back on I was wondering how your doing now and how much have you lost?
I had rny gastric bypass surgery in 2004. My highest weight was 335lb; lowest weight was 176lbs; currently 257lbs. I went in for an endoscopy and the bariatric surgeon said my pouch was fine and that nothing was stretched, and he did not know why I was gaining weight. He put my o Ozempic from a compound pharmacy and I lost 10 pounds in 3 months. Very expensive and not working well. I scheduled an appt for a second opinion for the revision. any advice?
It's great to see such a valuable event being offered! 1v1 lol
Wow, you've been through a lot. I haven't had an RNY revision for a bowel blockage, but I feel for you. It's rough dealing with those blockages and all the ups and downs with weight. I can't say exactly how much you'll lose, but it might not be as drastic as the first time around. As for bowel habits, a revision could help, but definitely chat with your doc about the constipation and megacolon. Sounds like you're a fighter, though. Glad to see you back here! Hoping you get the answers and support you need. Stay strong!

Hello,
You should be able to do this with your pcp. Mine (I?m in Pittsburgh too) brought it up at my last appointment. He said a lot of his patients have had success with it.
