Sounds disappointing but really is good news that your pouch is still a good size and that you have nowhere but up to go now. Just have to go back to the beginning and get busy again. I think the successful people in any surgery are the ones *****alize this is a life long change right from the beginning. They understand that this will be the way it is forever, you will always have to count calories or at the very least log your foods and protein daily on some place like myfitnesspal, take the vitamins and deal with any eating disorders. I think it should be a rules that any eatings disorders must be dealt with for at least a year before any surgery. Not trying to be mean or postpone people's surgeries it's just that I see so many people deal with this same problem. They have a diagnosed eating issue but are given surgery thinking this will resolve the issue but it won't by just making a smaller or even malabsorbtive stomach, all surgeries can be eaten around by a determined addict. The food addiction must be dealt with first, not necessarily cured but at least a good long time of treatment and learning new coping skills.

So look at this a as a blessing, you still have a working tool and now you will learn the  skills to help it be successful, wishing you all the best!

I haven't revised but just from reading on the various forums that does tend to be true. Also with the RNY you have a period of 12-18 months when the malabsorbtion is at it;s peak and that is the time to really work it and get the best weight loss. It may be a little slower but work it to the fullest and you should still do well. I know several who have done quite well with their revisions.

I find it hard to believe you were eating too much protein, I know people who do 100mg a day. Revision surgeries tend to take more work because your body is already used to being "fooled" so to speak by your previous surgery so it doesn't go as fast and you have to work harder. I think most folks who lose well keep their calories around 600-800 a day, protein 60-80 g, fluid 64+ oz. and at least 30 min of exercise a day. Most people do a high protein low carb diet and are successful. Keep at it and you'll get there eventually, good luck!

I see where you joined the FB group and they will give you awesome advice and info. I truly hope this does resolve, just think how much worse it would be had you kept the band longer. Thank goodness it is gone and not doping more damage!

You might post this on the DS forum, they are a smart bunch over there and can probably give you a very good answer!

I know one lady who has had a horrible time with this and can barely eat anymore. Would you like me to send her over here?

It is done and some are very successful others not so much. Having just a band myself and knowing all the problems with just a band I personally couldn't recommend it. Bands are very dangerous long term.

You really have to contact your own insurance company because some require high BMIs like a virgin surgery and others don't require any weight gain they go ahead and let you revise before you regain anything. So as usual the only way to find out is to check with your insurance, then you can decide if Mexico is what is going to have to happen. Good luck!

This is just my personal opinion and I have a useless band and only lost 20 lbs total so I know what you mean. However I would stay fat the rest f my life before I would ever have a plication done, it is a horrid surgery from what I have read about it. There is a very real danger of parts of your stomach becoming necrotic or dying causing infections and danger of gangrene. A 40 bougie is huge and rarely used by most surgeons. So if this is a top surgeon I think I'd find me a hacker rather than use someone who uses too large a bougie in the first place and then "revises" his original failed surgery to make yet more money and putting your health at risk yet again with the plication. I truly hope you don't have any problems but the odds are not in your favor.

I have been using sublingual liquid, but it took a good month before I started feeling better. Don't use the shots so can't comment on them. You might want to gett labs done again to see if anything has improved.

I haven't tried them (just ordered samples) yet but I've heard Click has some tasty drinks and also Syntax or Syntrex something like that has some good ones. I hated the ones I tried 5 yrs ago when I had surgery and only drank Isopure ready to drink. They were OK burt did still have a bit of a funny taste to them.

Sorry you're having trouble. I think you may just still be swollen and we do tend to retain fluids as the day goes on. I'm guessing maybe the yogurt is a little thick and maybe doesn't go down as smooth as say the jello or applesauce, maybe try a warm drink like tea first then try the meds with jello and see if that works. Some just have to stay on the clears longer than others and if you are vomiting you are irritating your little tummy just like with the band and may need to stick with more liquidy things awhile longer. It will get better I'm sure just baby yourself a little longer till your tummy calms down. Hugs

Depends on what type of revision you are having, there are several ways to revise.
