You didn't say how you know that you need a revision.  Has a doctor told you something is broken? Or do you just need to go back to the basics to lose again?  We've all been there! Good luck! Deb

I cant loose to save a life its really hard i diet for three weeks and did not loose a pound i need help bad and i thought u get a revision when u cant get the weight off  do u know of a diet that i can do as a post op to get me loosin? i have been married for almost a year and its hurting my marriage cuz im so insecure about my weight he is ok with it but every pound i gain i am more depressed that i had a life threatining surgery and failed and people will die to have had this chance.

Congratulations on the new addition. Have you tried going back to basics ? Protein firs****er, veggies and fruit ? Don't forget your vitamins. I know the Grads Board are doing a "Time Out" here is a link for some info. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/wls_grads/board_id,5491/ca t_id,5091/topic_id,3327265/a,messageboard/action,replies/#25 776429 I don't know much about it I posted a question about it.

thanks i will look into it

I don't know if gaining 55 pounds means you need a revision.  I wasn't to sure by your post, but I am assuming you just had a baby? . Your body is out of whack. With hormones and everything it is going to take a while for your body to get back to normal.Give yourself a break, stop beating yourself up.  Why don't you look for a nutritionist who works with bariatric patients first ,before you look to have a revsion. Also, you might want to consider....do you plan on having more kids, if so, you can't have a revsion every time you get pregnant. if you ever need any support please feel free to email me Donna

If diet isn't working, you could just have a bariatric surgeon take a look at your pouch and stoma and verify they are still the size and shape they are suppose to be. Then decide from there if you need a revision or if you can do it on your own with diet and exercise. Start with baby steps.

i will do that i have a  dr im looking into that suggested gettin that done

Hi.  It's been years since I've posted, but sounds like we are in the same situation.  I had lap RNY in 2000, went from 325 to 225 then had two children and gained with both pregnancies.  Now I can eat anything and I don't feel full.  I know the basics.  I truly believe my stoma is stretched as I never had the intense fullness.  Over time it did get worse.  I think I tried to gain with my pregnancies fearing my babies weren't getting enough nutrients.   Let's keep in touch.  I have an appointment about a revision on the 16th.  I'm praying there is a good solution for me.  I relate to your frustrations and feel a *****eated that I never had the loss I wanted.
