I haven't heard that, are you sure that's a real thing? (the metabolic shock thing, it doesn't sound very scientific)
I know that revisionsal surgeries are more likely to be/have complications and the long term success rate of them is less (ie whatever underlying problems that caused the original ot fail could cause this to fail)
But I would imagine that the weight should come off roughly the same. However you have to account for age and weight. If your original surgery was at 350 pounds at age 25 of course weight would come off much quicker than with a revisionsal surgery at 250 pounds at age 40

Revisional surgery patients often lose a bit more slowly than 'virgin' bariatric surgery patients.
This is because the revisional surgery patient's body has already experienced the metabolic shock of a previous bariatric surgical procedure in the past.
There's a saying: "It's never as good as the first time."
However, some peoples' mileage may vary...a few people have more success with weight loss and maintenance after the revisional procedure.
Good luck to you.

Well...so I'm told by my surgeon. She calls it the "one golden shot" surgery.
But, you also know about the dreaded 3 week stall, right? It can hit anywhere from 2-8 weeks out so I hear? Hang loose, and work your plan like your working your favorite corner on a Saturday night on the strip!

I had gastric sleeve surgery 5/20/14, weighed in at 250 and was very successful. I lost 75 pounds, felt great, stuck to most of the rules and had a new start on life at 44 years old. Now, 3 years later, my acid reflux is back in full swing with regurgitation waking me up from sleep. I got to my bariatric surgeon who does an Endoscopy and finds a hiatal hernia. After all the success I thought I enjoyed, I am scheduled for a hernia repair and revision to bypass. It's been a whirlwind. The surgeon said regurgitation is dangerous and I have it often enough that it's a serious concern. I am a bit miserable from the reflux. I was advised that with my severe GERD before surgery I should never have been allowed the sleeve. I am scheduled for bypass and repair on Nov. 1. I am nervous. I never wanted the bypass because I hear of so many complications with ulcers and deficiencies. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of this conversion or are you more than 8 years post op bypass and can offer any words of wisdom?

Don't be alone.
There are hundreds of us on here who have been where you are.
I am not a band to sleeve revision, but I know what it's like to have no familial support. It sucks.
But we're all here to have a natter with if you're feeling crappy or despondent.
You never know, we may even be able to raise a smile or three.
I know it's not nice to feel like an island - but you're not an island. You have us mad lot backing you up.
