It is always based on YOUR anatomical structure, now, after your first surgery, but I actually HAVE had a TRUE RNY bypass, in 2003, that was "reversed/revised" 20 months later, due to a non healing ulcer, and major malnutrition. I ended gaining about 100 lbs back, and LOTS of gastric problems. I finally found a surgeon (actually in same practice as my original surgeon), that agreed to take a chance on me. He "bypassed my bypass" 8/17/2020. Said it was first one like that he had ever done. That was 50 lbs ago. So, YES, IT CAN BE DONE- IN SOME CASES. SEEK OUT PROFESSIONAL HELP. GOOD LUCK.

OMG! I can't believe I found another "me"! I had first RNY in 04/2003, highest weight EVER was at least 275. Surgery weight was 255, maintained at 145ish, after plastics, UNTIL, I developed an ulcer at the anastomosis of stoma site. Long story short- couldn't eat/drink, ended up in hospital for almost 4 months, on IV Nutrition, lost down to 98 lbs. Had to have ulcer removed, bypass site was "altered"- 1/2005. Sooo many gastric issues developed over the next few years- histamine hernia, gastroparesis, severe GERD, adhesions, scar tissue, gained about 100 lbs- up and down, extreme PAIN. FINALLY, after 17 years, found a doctor that said he thought he could help. 8/2020 I had my bypass BYPASSED. Surgeon said that he'd never done a procedure exactly like mine, but, he felt like the bypass would give me the best chance at real relief. He was right. Im now down to 157 lbs, and feel great!! It CAN be done. Hasn't been easy. Definitely worth it!
