I had a RNY in April 2008  I am having trouble losing weight.  I lost 150lbs within 7 months but nothing since,  My question is would I be able to have lapband or maybe the sleeve.  If anyone could help me on that thanks

What does your surgeon recommend? What does your insurance cover? How much more do you have to lose? Are you back to the basics and exercising?

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

You need some motivation, not another surgery!

Get back to the basics, measure your food, count your calories, exercise, you would be surprised at how we can fool ourselves into thinking were eating healthy, but when you get back to measuring food and counting those calories, you realize how far you got away from proper portions.  I know, I did!   The 1st year of any weight loss surgery is called the honeymoon, lots of people stop loosing 1 year post op. 

Get yourself back in the game! You deserve it!

^^^ what (s)he said.  Yes, you can get a revision to a DS (they normally do not revise just to a sleeve), or you can get a band over the pouch, but insurance may or may not pay for it, and it probably isn't what you need anyway.  What you probably need is to go back to basics.

Looking at your health tracker you went from 435 to 296, then you stopped tracking so I assume you are still around that weight. Are you logging your food somewhere like myfitnesspal? How many calories a day do you average? I would cut back 500 calories a day by making better food choices and weighing/measuring everything you put in your mouth. Increase your exercise. Maybe you need a therapist.
