    Need Advice

    So, I hope this is ok to bring here, as I don't know where to go for the advice I'm seeking. This is a tough situation for me and I hope you guys don't mind me being on here since I've never had any bariatric surgery but since most outside the bariatric community probably don't know much about it, I wanted the advice to come from people who understand. My wife had a VGS done just over 2 years ago. She was doing so great with exercise and diet and lost over 100lbs. She was so happy and I was so happy for her. She hit a stahl before goal weight and that's where it ended. She gave up the gym but stayed at the diet and maintained where she was for a long time. Now though in the last couple months she has spiraled bad. She's eating only unhealthy food and at portions I can't even eat. I've started eating more healthy in hopes to lead by example with no results. When I say unhealthy I'm talking whole pizza, cake pie, fried chicken. And that's the last week. So here is my issue, she genuinely seems very confused as to why she's gaining weight so rapidly and is becoming very depressed by it. She's now planning a revision surgery to a DS instead of her current VGS thinking the sleeve isn't working for her. She is super sensitive and self conscious about her weight. I don't care if she gains it other than her happiness. I'm being extremely supportive and agreeable to the new surgery and just agreeing the sleeve is a problem and the DS will fix everything but inside I have huge doubts because of the recent eating habits. Should I bring this up and if so, how? Thank you all for any advice and help you can give me.
