About 6 years ago my dad had gastric bypass, sadly he is starting to regain weight (he told me a pound a year, looks like more), and found that the Doctor who did it did not do things right, and has had compilations. My dad went to another doctor to get information on a revision. the doctor told him that he can not have a revision, never heard of this has anyone here heard of this.

I am have gastric bypass Jan. 11th, and recommend to my dad to talk to the CHRIAS doctors and see if they can help him out.

also a question from me: i was told there are 2 different bypasses a 20% (or possible 30%) bypass and a 60% bypass, I don't remember hearing anything about this, any information?? My numbers could be wrong, when someone (not a docotor) told me about it I had never heard of it.

anyone with information I would love to share anything with my dad, thank you

There is a meeting on Tuesday at 7pm, November 17th at Victory.  Everyone should plan on bringing a favorite recipe to share with the group.  Besides being able to sample some good food, we will also be gathering the recipe and creating a little recipe book for post-ops.  Come on out if you've never been.  Come on back if you are looking for a great way to restart your journey.  Hope to see everyone.

Ginger, Thanks for doing this post.  I think everyone needs to hear the real  deal on all surgeries. We here all the good but no one wants to talk about the negative. of the choices we make. There are some very good doctors and some really suck . I can't agree more some are just after the money. I beleive surgery is a very good tool. We have to work it . This journey doesn't stop after surgery and we need Drs with very good aftercare and willing to step up and help when things go wrong. All I can say is do your research. You will learn the rest of your life. Thanks again. See you lighter. Joanne

Thank god for Chrias then.
