What kind of revision? Have you gained weight back? I would check with my surgeon or doc. If you are experiencing a medical problem I would rethink revision until I solved it. Anyway good luck and God Bless in your search, vinnigirl, retired RN

I'm 4 yrs out RNY and have gained half of what I lost, so I'm presently consulting with a new gastric surgeon. My initial surgery went great and I was so happy; however, after abt 18 months I no longer experienced dumping and was able to eat almost anything. I still can't eat breads, rice, pasta,fried foods or desserts. My blood pressure never decreased enough to come off medication. Now, my BP is very high and even though I can't eat much, I get hungry after eating. I attempted to discuss this with my surgeon but his only solution was to pay $200 for a nutritional consult. I've reached a point that I'm so frustrated with the steady weight gain and how fat I feel like I look. I underwent a complete hysterectomy several months ago and was put on HRT and it has packed on the weight around my hips and stomach. I've just been taken off them and have found a new gastric surgeon that specializes in revision. The Stomaphax(not sure re: spelling) is what I'm interested in. Feel free to email me([email protected]) because it helps to have someone who is experiencing the same problems. Cheryle
