Have you considered revising to a modified duodenal switch? I had a RNY revised to this procedure on June 21st with no complications. I have lost a over 15 pounds since surgery and am doing everything to make good choices because it's a lifelong commitment. I have suffered the battle of the bulge also for years and was thankful to meet a revision specialist. Good luck and i hope you find your peace whether it's surgical option or non.

It took me 2 weeks and im still a little sore...but i had a umbilical hernia repair with my bariatric surgery

Thanks for sharing! I can appreciate that you don't follow fad diets as i feel thats what ended up causing constant regain in my past. Do you stick to certain macros a day? That mental challenge of establishing a good relationship with food is a great point! I will certainly focus on that more that as well. Did you find anything particular that helped with this?

Unfortunately, i did not lose much weight as anticipated. The day of surgery i was 335 and my lowest was 260. That's with adhering to the diet given (low fat, low carb) and moderate exercise. My weight fluctuated for years and i met Dr. Roslin at a seminar where we talked revision options. I can't say i have any comorbidilities that prompted the 'need' for a revision, i just wanted the best tool to help fight this battle of the bulge Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

That's great to hear!! Your success is truly motivating. I am one week post op a rny to ds revision and am pushing, or trying to push through this liquid diet. I'm still sore, can't wait to feel more like myself. What are some things that keep you maintained for years? Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

Dr. Mitchell Roslin at Northwell Health/Northern Westchester hospital performed a revisional rny to a modified ds. He's experienced and innovative. I originally had my rny at Ellis with Dr. Pai but failed to lose as much weight. I live in the Capital Region so i understand your concern. Look into what you want done as i think that'll be helpful.

It took me one day after being home from the hospital
