Hello:)

In 1998, I had a Gastric Bypass. I weighed 479lbs. I only got down to 300lbs. Now I'm at 375lbs. I'm currently in process for a revision. I've completed most of the steps and will be up for a surgery date soon. My doctor is talking to me about the procedure where you absorb less calories. Is there anyone out there who has a similar story? I need help please...

Well your story is very different I hope you have a better outcome and that was many years ago I didn't even it was a procedure back than. But things or so different now I no u will do better. But some weight loss is always better then no weight loss. Keep me posted I wanna no Ur journey...

What exactly is a gastric bypass revision, and how did u get ur surgeon to do it? I feel like the rny didnt work for me at all and would like to have it redone.

Hmmm. Which bypass did you have? Are you looking at the Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch? That is the most drastic one that I'm aware of. My doc wouldn't do it for me, she was worried about lifelong nutritional deficiencies and the dreaded "dumping"
