Missy, I don't think anyone can predict whether or not they'll have to have a revision. I held at 140 for years and pretty much ate what I wanted within reason and then 3 years ago, the scale started going up. No matter how little I ate, good or bad for me foods. Didn't matter; the scale just kept going up. I didn't think this surgery could fail as it's something that was so successful for years for me then just stop working. Now I've got this second chance and I'm going to work my butt off (figuratively and literally!) to get back to my goal weight.

I'm in northeastern Illinois outside of Chicago.

I just had a revision to my RNY that I had done in 2003 where I started out at 325. Over the course of a year and a half, I lost 170 lb. Eventually I got down to around 140. 3 years ago I started gaining weight and I didn't know why; I ran from Dr to Dr and they all just kept telling me to go on a diet. Eventually found my way to the surgeon that I have now (my original surgeon has since retired). I went into surgery at 235 lbs. I had my surgery last Wednesday September 16th where he made my pouch 2/3 of its former size. Had my follow-up with him this morning 8 days post-op and I've lost 9 lb. I really really want to get back to my former weight. I'm hoping, I'm going to work hard at it so we'll see. Once I started gaining weight nothing, I did helped so praying this pouch reset will work.
