Question:
Do revisions loose weight as quickly and as much as first time bypasses?

My father had stomach stapling in 1980 and had a staple line disruption 5 years later. The weight came back on and more. In Jan 2001, my father had the RNY and is now smaller than he has been since 1975. He has lost over 210 lbs in just over a year. Hope this helps.

I have had two revisions in the 14 months since my original surgery.. I am now 17 months, soon to be 18 months post op.. and I am still losing, although slowly. I have lost more slowly this time around.. was revised the second time in early Feb. Take care Hugs, Gina
