hi im interested in hearing from anyone who has had gastric bypass surgery and had to go in for a redo ..

i had gastric bypass in 2004 and my starting weight was 493lb and got down to 260lb and i kept it off for 6 years.

but due to a disc prolapse and upcomming knee surgery and heart issues ive put on almost 60lb again .

i saw my surgeon last week and he has put me back on the waiting list for a gastric bypass redo

or for the gastric sleve (whichever he decides to do).

im told i will only be waiting about 12 weeks for this surgery and i am very scared as i have heard it is high risk surgery..

.so id like to hear from anyone who has had the redo and if they had any problems with it...

i had no problems with the first gastric bypass other than needing to be on iron and b12 injections...

thanx from debz

I had the sleeve done in 2010. I had a couple of surgeries soon after the sleeve that slowed down my wt. loss only got down about 70 lbs. I'm going to have the bypass done on 9/17/12. I'm very nervous but at the same time excited. I will try my best to keep u updated to my progress.
