Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 There is an excellent support group list called DS_Revision. I'm sure they can give you more specific answers to your questions regarding their experiences with revisions to previous weight loss surgeries. Here is the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DS_Revision Happy reading!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hi all I am new to this group. I had my surgery about 12 years ago. It was back before they really knew what they were doing at least in the area that I live. I had a stapling with a vertical banding. I never go under 200 lbs. I still throw up alot, I eat very little, and I have gained all of my weight back. So, now I am thinking about getting some revisions done - now that they seem to know a bit more - and I know a bit more. I would go to a larger city and a better Doctor. So, I am guess I am looking for someone who has had revisions - and maybe a bit of direction. Please share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet that the band has slipped, rather common, and that would explain the throwing up. You really NEED a revision because of how dangerous constant throwing up is. I believe we have a few people on here who have been through it, but your idea to go to a big city with a good doctor is the right one, IMO. BTW, where do you live? You can bet some on here would have some suggestions. ) in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone who has gone through revisions - info regarding that process would be helpful also. The 1st surgery was not a good experience at all - 6 days in the hospital and a tube down my nose for 3 of them - but that was normal back then - or so I have been told. So I am a bit apprehensive about the the whole thing. But if I am going to do it again I would like to have everything fixed and may be lose the weight this time.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 May I ask why that is required? Is it because you are not loosing weight? Perhaps the answer lies elseware. I don't mean to be the least bit harsh. I am just asking for more information from you. Most surgeons I see run from the thought of a revision. Must be what seprates the gifted surgeons from the not so great ones. I really would like to know why you require a revision and if there is anything that we could do to help.. > I am in need of a revision (from a proximal to a distal RNY).
