RNY results in approximate 100 pound weight loss after approximately one year. Typical regain is approximately 20 pounds in year three after surgery.
Fifty percent regain at least half of their weight lost by year five. Many regain 100% of the lost weight by year ten.
Revision typically results in a 20 pound loss. The only way to lose the weight and maintain the loss is following a diet where you do not take in more calories than your body burns.

Toya, I am in the same boat you are in! Although you did better than me. I am looking for similar answers, as I have not had revision yet but thinking bout it. Here is what I have:
-1st surgery/yr : RNY/2007
- pre-op weight: 282
-lowest weight post-op: 160 and very happy.
-set point weight (longest held weight prior to regain) Stayed there until 2018.
- revision (procedure name)/date: NONE YET but thinking about it.
Current weight: 220
Considering: Revision but not sure which one.
Thanks for your post Toya.

I am having to same revision surgery Sleeve to RNY and hiatal hernia repair in two weeks. Having it because of GERD. I have normal BMI 25. I will not be taking anymore PPIs. Did u take PPIs before revision? Hope u r feeling better.
Yes!!!!! I was approved by NYSHIP and I am having my revision on December 2nd. Began my 2-week liquid diet today!
What is the reason for your revision? I would go from sleeve to RNY, but I haven't seen the bariatric doctor yet. I have a hiatal hernia. I had one repaired when I had sleeve surgery. He discovered it after he got started. I guess it is back. Terrible GERD that did ok for a few months after being put on Pantoprazole, then he had to up it to twice a day. Now I'm back to resorting to Tums on top of the script. I would love to know what they're going to require, what hoops I'll have to jump through. I was cash pay the first time around, but it was elective, this would be medical.
Hello I had an RNY revision on March 29th. It is totally different from my first surgery back in 2008. The doctor made the pouch so small till I can't eat anything without getting sick. The hole is the size of a dime according to the practitioner. I lost 36lbs. to date. I feel ok till I try to eat something soft. I can't seem to keep anything down. I have an upcoming appt. I will keep you posted. I gained a total of 70lbs since the initial surgery.
Hey there. I had an RNY revision March 29, 2021 and so far lost 36lbs. It's totally different from the initial surgery. In fact I'm having more issues. I'm throwing up quite a bit. I have an appt on May 12th. I thought it was Dumping but I didn't know dumping is due to too much sugar or greasy intake, so I don't have Dumping. I'm just throwing up too much. I have 25lbs to lose to reach my goal but im afraid if I continue to throw up, I'm gonna lose more. Make sure you do your research thoroughly. I never threw up when I had my further surgery in 2008.
Hello there, I thank you for sharing your story. I am five years out and I am thinking about getting this done. How are you doing years later?
Some surgeons do a DS or some variation of the DS. There is also extended RNY (ERNY). You would need to speak with a surgeon.
