What do you know about this?

Had my gastric bypass surgery in July of 2000. It is not working. I have had a horrible and frustrating time of it. I went to see my surgeon today and he talked to me about going thru another surgery where they bypass more intestine. The surgery I had two years ago bypassed six ft of intestine, but I can eat alot and I mean alot. This is incredible to me. I have had a upper GI which shows the staple line to be intact. Has anyone had surgery with more than six ft of intestines bypassed? If so, what is the correct name of this procedure? Is the surgery to do this as difficult as the original surgery of the gastric bypass which included the stapleling of the stomach pouch and the bypass of intestines? Does this surgery or revision to more intestines bypassed take as long or is as difficult? Also how have you done with it? I know there is more absorption and takeing your vitamin supplements are a absolute necessity or you could suffer malnutrition. I need some help with this to figure out what to do. Thanks!
