First of all, congratulations on your weight loss journey so far; that's a huge accomplishment.
As for your question about hair loss after revision surgery, you may experience some shedding again. However, it's important to remember that everyone's experience is different, and it's difficult to predict exactly how your body will react.
If you experience hair loss, options are available to help restore your hair. Hair transplant clinic is a great provider that specializes in hair restoration and can work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.

By eating differently after bypass, they mean you learn to eat tiny amounts of food and chew them thoroughly. For example, last night I had one quarter of a cheddar and steak sandwich from Panara. I saved the other quarter for lunch today. If I try to eat more food it gets stuck and makes me sick.

Some people go back to eating the same size portions as people who did not surgery. That means that the food might make them sick and they always gain weight. Start by eating much tinier portions of food and cut it into small bites. Chew it thoroughly. It is better to make it only meat and a few non-starchy vegetables. Get a food scale and weigh your portions. I find between 2 and 3 ounces of chicken fills me up. With steak can sometimes eat 4 to 6 ounces.

Drink a lot of water and get lots of exercise. A revision will not change overeating habits. Only you can do that.

Hi Ruby9999, I had the Sleeve in 2008 and lost 182 lbs. By 2017 I had regained 110 lbs. I found an amazing surgeon who does the DS and had the DS in 2017. I lost 80 lbs of my 110 lb regain. I am so happy I had the revision to the DS! I don't have diarrhea all the time. I take my vitamins faithfully and have better labs than I've ever had. I hope your insurance company pays for a revision. Please check that out with your insurance company and don't listen to everyone else. There is another site that has experts who can tell you about whether or not there are ways to get around insurance.

thank you for that! I was a self pay and I think he really just didn't tell me because of that. LOL. Then again I have selective memory. Trying to get myself back on track with simple walking and some basic weights will get me back on target. And by target I mean on the downsize rather than upwards. I keep trying to figure out if having the DS gives me any "advantage" to helping lose weight now. I am 3 years out and the thing that I can't seem to find the answer to, is am I like I was at 18 years old trying to lose weight again (ugh) or do I have any type of "leg up". I know when I had my original surgery that was all I was looking for. Not a "miracle" but rather some help since I felt like growing up I could just not lose weight (I have hypthyroidism and nothing worked, from WW to a dietician). the only way I was finally able to lose was RNY with working out 4-5 times a week. Just haven't been able to acertain if my DS now 3 years out is helping me lose at all. :)

Hi, I had a revision from RNY to DS in June 2019 and went from 272 to 220. Things went very slow. I think I didn't really realize that when you aren't having a "virgin" surgery, you don't lose as much as quickly. I went very fast and lost a LOT on my RNY. I had the same expectations (stupidly) with the DS. OK facts, I was menopausal (older) so a slower metabolism as well. I was on the right track losing (albeit slowly) when COVID hit. Couldn't go to the gym and stopped losing due to bad eating habits, no exercise etc. Totally my own fault. If I hadn't done that, I don't know how much I could have lost. I am currently trying to get myself back on track after a few years of just living stupidly and not focusing on my weight and health.

The one thing I wish I had done, was manage my expectations of how fast and how much I would lose. In doing a lot of research I know that the revision surgeries are slower and may/may not lose as much. I have read stories of people who have lost a LOT of weight but not as much or as quickly as their first surgery. I think just managing your expectations of how quickly you lose is important. RNY you really lose quickly. DS definitely not as much. Hope this helps.
