RNY revamp?

I had RNY in 2005 and gained most of it back. Is there another surgery for people like me? I can eat almost everything!

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. You likely still have a functioning tool and need to go back to the basics of how to use it. It might not be a bad idea to get an endoscopy and make sure your stoma hasn't stretched out and given you infinite stomach. Dense protein in measured portions will be your number one ally in getting back on track more than another surgery. Search on the forum for regain or back to basics--there are a lot of tips out there.

Good luck on your journey!

I had my surgery in 2013 I recently gained back 60 pounds. I signed onto this site just to post exactly what you posted. I can't eat any type of food and quite a bit. It's hard to get back on track when your mind knows you can eat anything.

depends what is happening with your original "tool" - there are options - but IMO - a revision should be an absolutely last resort. A revision can be a very difficult procedure - and unless you can change what and how much you eat- and put your mind to it - the regain can happen all over again.

I agree with getting everything checked out to make sure your RNY is still in working order. Then you must be honest with yourself about your eating habits. I am 9 years out and can eat a ton. I have to work hard every day to make healthy choices and watch my serving sizes. If I need to lose, I track my food on myfitnesspal. Every single bite.

To answer your question, the best revision for RNY patients seems to be RNY to DS, but it is a very risky surgery and must be performed by a surgeon who actually knows how to do the surgery correctly. Otherwise, you are risking a life of pain and complications.

Do your research. Get the help you need to get back to a healthy weight. Good luck.

Ditto what Laura said. I can eat a ton of certain foods. I choose not to. It's a new mindset for me, and not an easy one, but something that has kept me on the straight and narrow since 2011.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback !

I am almost four years out. I know you are farther out than myself. I can eat everything. Should I? Pretty much no.

Do you feel restriction still? Log your food and start following protein forward. It can be done. There is a forum for regain.

I haven't reached goal yet. I know I will one day. I am getting used to being in my own skin.
