Regain options?

Surgery 03/2013 280lbs

I've managed to gain back all my weight. I do not feel restrictions when I eat anymore. Possibly medication related. Possible bad habits returned. I bit the bullet and called the WL clinic because I don't know what options are available in my area. I've done all kinds of research. Nurse told me they rarely do any revisions and never have done a band over gastric (I was really wanting that) She mentioned possible medical weight loss such as appetite suppressants etc... I would rather have a surgery than to take any weightloss pills with side effects.I am wondering if any of you who had a regain have gotten any medical weightloss options that worked?

There is a new nonsurgical procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. I had the procedure done in June 2020 but not as a revision. Google True You Weight Loss or Dr. Christopher McGowan in Cary, NC for more info. Also, many others have either had revisions to RNY or DS. I think there is a revision forum you can check out.

Oops, when I read restriction I thought you had the sleeve done. Sorry but it's my understanding you can get a DS revision following gastric bypass.

I added info to my previous post so not all of it is a duplicate.

you can, but it's a really complicated surgery because they have to take down the RNY first, then do a sleeve - and then do the intestinal bypass part of the DS. Only about a half dozen surgeons in the US specialize in this.
