I'm sorry to say that I fill this bill. I don't know enough about this revision process to really answer truthfully. I assume it means to have the surgery redone. I would rather myself, to try and get it back off the old fashion way with eating as I should and mass amounts of excersise. I just re-joined back up here today (after a long absence) because I realize that I'm really in need of some serious support. I would try to really hunker down and give it another try doing what you learned in the beginning, that's what I plan on doing. Hope this help's you in some way. Danny

Hi Evelyn, I also had revision. I had stomach stapling in 1995 and revision to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass this year, in February. I am still in the process of losing weight and have lost about 61 pounds so far.... As for you gaining 50 pounds, maybe you're eating too often throughout the day, or the wrong kinds of food/drinks. Stay away from sugar and white flour products or greasy foods and drink only no-sugar drinks.
