Hi charm_n_ladi,

I know it's been a long time since you posted. How was your outcome?

Did you have an open RNY? I had open RNY in November 2002. I kept 100lbs off for 10yrs. I started on an anxiety med and put on 40lbs in 3 months.

I went to a bariatric surgeon here in Texas and after 2 years of trying everything he did an EGD and found my stoma opening was larger than if I had done a laparoscopic RNY. He then said I was a perfect candidate for the Apollo Overstitch procedure.

Dr. Celio Burrowes in Atlanta, GA was my surgeon back then.

I appreciate any insight.

Thanks- Kelly S

It is because people think that a revision means they are going to lose weight like they did with the first surgery and are disappointed when they learn that revision averages a loss of about 20 pounds.

If you decide to combine the revision with going back to eating like you did after your first surgery, you might lose more. It is certainly possible with diet and exercise to lose all of your excess weight.

Thank you!

Hello ð?'??

New member here and I'm so happy to have come across this website. I'll apologize in advance for not knowing the correct abbreviations.

My story

I had Gastric Bypass in 2008, before surgery I weighed in at 340ish, I lost a total of 100lbs, leaving me at 240 and I was pretty bummed out about it. Got pregnant fairly quick, I'd say about 10 months out of surgery and to my surprise I was pregnant with twins! Oh boy did I eat... went up to only 255lbs that I did manage to lose those 15 pounds... but the damage was done... I began to eat and over indulge and went up to 270lbs... took matters into my own hands and managed to go down to 230... I have a 2 yr old now and well I've been up and down like a yo-yo... currently weighing in at 250. I went to see the doctor for a whole different reason and it required for me to get a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy.... the Doctor said everything was fine, but that he noticed my pouch was way stretched... he explained the revision and told me if I was interested he would help me... well I called him back and I'm getting my revision on 10/16... wish I would have found this site sooner lol... I'm just scared that I won't lose much weight, I just turned 41 and my energy level is soooooo low ugh... and with a toddler ?, you guys can imagine. I just want to regain my life back!

How much did you guys lose after your revision?

How did your revision work did you have additional weight loss or problems? I have been approved for a revision and I am very worried.
