Before you think about a revision you might want to go back and talk with a dietian.......if you have gained 50 lbs then there is a reason and you need to tackle that answer first.....another surgeru will not get you back on track if you have not stayed on track to begin with.....I'm not belittling or preaching here....but none of us got to where we were in the first place if we didn't have issues with food.....so after having the surgery the first time and not being able to keep the weight off....then perhaps you didn't deal with those issues.....and the sad part is a lot of us don't...we go in get the surgery.....and we are put out on our own....and little by little be eat more and more for what ever reason.....then th weight starts back up.......until we are taught to deal with the real issues.....we will never be successful..... Most of us think ths id our answer....but unless we do it right and follow what we are suppose to do ....it won't work in the long run unless we are working with it....so just think about this.....weather we have gastric......lap-band or the sleeve only 50% of our success is the surgery....the other is ourselves....... so why not try seeing your Dr first and talking with a dietian...My insurance won't pay for a second surgery......they will ithere is a problem but not if I have gained weight back. Hope this heps and good luck,,,,,you might find that your's does........but no matter what you ahve done......none of it's fool proof or food proof.
