Hello ð?'??
New member here and I'm so happy to have come across this website. I'll apologize in advance for not knowing the correct abbreviations.
My story
I had Gastric Bypass in 2008, before surgery I weighed in at 340ish, I lost a total of 100lbs, leaving me at 240 and I was pretty bummed out about it. Got pregnant fairly quick, I'd say about 10 months out of surgery and to my surprise I was pregnant with twins! Oh boy did I eat... went up to only 255lbs that I did manage to lose those 15 pounds... but the damage was done... I began to eat and over indulge and went up to 270lbs... took matters into my own hands and managed to go down to 230... I have a 2 yr old now and well I've been up and down like a yo-yo... currently weighing in at 250. I went to see the doctor for a whole different reason and it required for me to get a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy.... the Doctor said everything was fine, but that he noticed my pouch was way stretched... he explained the revision and told me if I was interested he would help me... well I called him back and I'm getting my revision on 10/16... wish I would have found this site sooner lol... I'm just scared that I won't lose much weight, I just turned 41 and my energy level is soooooo low ugh... and with a toddler ?, you guys can imagine. I just want to regain my life back!
How much did you guys lose after your revision?
This original post was from 2016 so I doubt there original poster will respond.

How did your revision work did you have additional weight loss or problems? I have been approved for a revision and I am very worried.
Can you give me some more insight on the rny. I am scheduled for one my revision on November 15 and I am very scared
Have you figured out why you regained the weight? Is there anything mechanically wrong with your sleeve, or did you fall back into bad habits?

I also had a hernia and GERD and ended up with a revision to RNY about 2.5 months ago. No regrets at all, my GERD is completely resolved. Even though I struggle with food getting stuck (my sleeve stretched and my pouch is smaller than normal) I have zero regrets.
Folks can have uneven weight loss with any surgery, I suspect it's all a matter of luck. I'm down 38lb and have none of that so far, I'm saggy in a completely even fashion!

Most revision patients lose about 20 pounds. You should not see a droopy body from that. The big change should be resolving the GERD. You will still have to watch the sugar intake.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
1. I get physically ill flu like symptoms when I eat certain foods like no sugar added and sometimes randomly and have to be careful what I eat. Does that get worse with the RNY?
2. I’ve noticed people with the RNY the weight shifts and their body looks droopy. I didn’t have any of that with the sleeve. Did anyone with the revision experience uneven weightloss?
3. Any regrets?
Did you get the Surgery and if so how it go I am having the revisional long limb as well.
