Considering revisal RNY

Aug 10, 2018

I underwent my inital RNY at the age of 20. Throughout my twenties I maintained quite well. At 29 I got married... since that time I have been gaining back my weight. Last year I took a new job and in the last year have gained about 50 pounds. Before my RNY I weighed in at 335lbs. At my lowest I was 165lbs (looked sickly) but promised myself to never go over 200lbs. Felt and looked great at 180lbs. I am now back to 260lbs. I no longer experience dumping and can eat basically anything. I am considering a revision but am nervous my PCP wont support me(referral), two have a lot of shame. My BMI also does not meet criteria as it is 38 (not the magic 40)... wondering what others have gone through and what their experiences have been?
