I havent been on these boards in forever! I am 1 yr and 4 months out and down 40 pnds from my hights 23 since surgery.. I wasn't losing weight for a long time now and my doctors started talking about the metabalism test. I took the test and my matabelism is slow. I burn 1247 calories resting .. the average is 1700. No wonder I wasn't losing. I was trying for 1200 calories and losing maybe a pound a month. I made an appointment with the nut and she said check into having a revision to rny. Now I have an appointment tomorrow to talk to the doc about it.
Has anyone had revision to rny after the band? If so please let me know about your experience.
