Hi.
I'm a revision success story :)
I had RNY 2/16/2005 and revision to DS on 10/12/2009
Highest weight: 314
pre RNY weight 289
lowest RNY weight: 185
pre DS revision weight: 290
current weight: 140ish (and holding for 8+ years)

I tried that site. They mostly suggested reset your pouch and dieting.
Which I have done. The weightloss is just really slow. I am losing 1 lb a month to get back to 200lbs ,which was my lowest weight after bypass, from a 73 lb. weight gain.
I am 57 and my joke is I'll reach my goal weight on my death bed.
And I don't need to hear the blame which they have for people with regain. I am a fat person. I hear that enough. Maybe I am just imagining it. But it was how I felt.
And only one person who was having a revision answered the question. But she hadn't had it yet.
Thanks, I've read a lot of the articles on Dr Keshisians site. Very helpful
Here is a vid from Dr. Keshishian on revisions in general, including the RNY to DS.

Poke around his website and there are other videos and blog posts that are relevant, as he one of the handful of surgeons that can do the RNY to DS revision. He isn't real keen on the SADI, as that is mostly promoted as being "almost as good as" the DS while being simpler - as with most of the DS surgeons, as they already have the skills to do the DS, the SADI doesn't make a lot of sense for them. You might want to check on Dr Roslin in NYC as he is big on the SADI as well as the DS, so he should have some info on his site.
Good luck in this!

There's a Revision Forum you might find more information.

Hi, I have been looking at revision surgery ( rny to DS of sadi)
I am curious if anyone has had or is in the process of having this surgery and what your outcome was>
Please don't scold me for gaining weight and suggest reinstituting appropriate diet. I have been doing those things myself.
I am just interested in personal accounts of revision surgery. Or if you know of any good articles about it.
I am just gathering information.
Thanks,
It probably sounds like a silly question, but I've been wondering if drinking too much water while I'm taking meds or vitamins might inhibit my absorption of them. Or is it only food I need to worry about?
only food
