Please stop taking Zantac, it was just found it can cause cancer.
You should ask that question on DS forum.
Revision surgery from RNY to DS is very complicated and there are only a few doctors that can fo that properly without patient getting terrible complication.
DS forum have people who know very well about that.
And as far as I know, BPD is not the same as DS. And the average results are different.

I'm going to ask (please don't be offended) do you have a large belly/apron over hang? If so I would bet anything the pants still fit around you because of that. You've lost a good amount of weight between your original surgery and your revision. Most of us know those darn skin aprons make it difficult to get into the next size down.
Please don't get discouraged and give up. Maybe talk to your surgeon about what can be done to have extra skin removed.
You got this.

I've found that the more you weigh, the more you need to lose to go down a clothing size.

RANT...
I had revision from sleeve to bypass almost 1 yrs ago. and I am down almost 70 pounds. well last night I was going through my clothes to find pants to wear to work today. I found the pants that I wore the day I had my revision. again, I have lost almost 70 pounds so I was expecting them to not fit and get frustrated and have to change up my outfit for work this morning... NOOOOOOOPE! they still fit. they are looser in the butt and leg area. but after 70 pounds they still fit. WTH?! why?! I feel like anyone else who loses 70 pounds (my sister) would be in 2-3 sizes smaller but nope, guess im not one of those people. why does this happen? I feel like it was all a waste of time and effort at this point! I just want to say F it and not care anymore.

What are you revising from?
I wonder if he means distal gastric bypass? There have been a few people on here through the years that had that done.

Hello all..what is the difference between a revision to bpd only as opposed to bpd-ds..I know the revision to full ds is a longer more complicated surgery, and my surgeon says revision to bpd will give same results..any thoughts/
Hi I can tell you for my procedure. It's not covered but my gastrointestinal doctor put it down as an endoscopy, and so it was covered. I work for a major hospital here in Houston and we have good insurance but nonetheless my doctor knew how it works so he knew what to do about it.
Hi I had an Overstitch (Apollo) last Monday Sept 16, 2019. I felt soar afterwards it was outpatient. I've lost a total of 14 lbs. what I've been doing is full liquids now and for the next 45 days. But I do it doing keto. Do you still feel restriction? Because I can drink more than 2oz at a time. I know it's been a while since you had it. How much weight have you lost? Thank you
