I'm having a upper Gi next week to check my pouch. I have been told

that some people have a second bariatric bypass after they gain some of their weight back if they are still very heavy. I had my first surgery 6/03. I lost 140 lbs and never got below 300 lbs. The last year I have gained about 30 lbs back. I have tried to loose the weight back and it stays stable as long as I exercise, other health problems like bad coughs and knee problems have made exercise hard to do for some periods of time off and on. During the off times I slowly start to gain weight. I'm now 58 so maybe my metabolism has slowed. Anyway now I'm highly considering a second bypass. Has anyone done this? I tolerated the first one very well and popped right back. What was your experience?
