Traditionally revisions are said to have slower weight loss then first time people having WLS but I was a revision from a very malabsorptive procedure. I had the revision to reduce the malabsorption and had my sleeve revised to a RNY pouch. I fully expected to lose slowly, if at all. In fact, my surgeon cautioned me several times that I may not lose any weight. At that point the goal was to stop the side effects and the weight gain. I was very surprised to find myself losing weight faster then even my first WLS which just shows that we are all individual and we can't predict what our rate of loss will be.
