Hello all - I'm new to the site and have been reading through the forums...

Has anyone that's had an open RNY surgery had to have a revision years later?

I had my original surgery March 2002, started at 268 pounds, lost 132 pounds and slowly have regained 70ish pounds. I've lost and gained the last 15 pounds several times. I can eat mashed potatoes today and be fine and in two days warm up the leftovers and dump like crazy so my digestion is totally unpredictable.

I did a barium swallow and the Dr determined my stoma reduction didn't hold from the original surgery so he's going in endoscopic to cinch the stoma that's about an inch wide now down to 1cm. He mentioned possibly cinching my pouch down too depending on how things look during the procedure.

My revision is tomorrow morning and I'm just wondering if anyone else gone through this and what the results were - both from a not getting sick so much and weight loss stance.

Thanks in advance,

~K

I hope all went well with your revision!

So far so good
