I'm almost 6 months post-op and thinking....

I started out with a BMI of 87 and I looked on this site to find out the schedule of weight loss. According to this chart, I should have lost 200 pounds by month 5. I've only lost 120 (I know its only a guide and that everyone is different). I began at 500 and now weigh @380 or so (haven't weighed myself in a few weeks). My question is this: I had open RNY. What happens when I don't lose all 370 pounds? Can I or should I have a revision? I know I'm a bit early post-op to consider this, but I am seriously wondering!!! I think this surgery was the best thing to happen to me so I wouldn't hesitate to do it again - but when? How many years after my initial surgery do I have to wait? Anyone have any guidance??
