Question:
Looking into having a revision done in the upcoming months and wanted some input as

to what to expect. I'm an open rny patient and my pouch is going to be made smaller. My doctor is also going to remove extra skin from my abdomen. I would also like to hear from anyone in the Washington D.C. area who has NCAS/NCPPO insurance. Thanks in advance    — Michelle H. (posted on January 15, 2004)

I just had a revision done on Dec 19th I had the VBG and had a revision to the open rny. I am doing great I had to start making my self eat more the recovery was easy to me this time then the 1st time with the VBG Lab. My stomach is healing very good I can get around I have never being down like I was think I would be. My weight loss is good I lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks I havent weight to see what it is up to today. So good luck.

Hi Michelle, Just wondering-what exactly is your surgeon going to do to make your pouch smaller? I thought this could not be done, that in a rny revision only more intestine could be bypassed and the pouch is left alone. I have a friend who is 2.5 yrs postop rny, not at goal and stalled for many months and was wondering if there was such a thing as getting your pouch made smaller. So what is the procedure exactly??
