I had an open Gastric Bypass back in 2001 when my weight was 235lbs. After 1+ years I weighed about 120lbs, but over the years since the surgery, I have gained almost 70 lbs. My current weight is 185lbs+/-. Recently, I read about Revision Surgery for those Gastric Bypass patients who have experienced significant weight gain: StomaphyX revision is a completely endoscopic revision technique[12] used to tighten a stretched gastric pouch using internal sutures or fasteners. It may be used in patients who have had prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and have a stretched stomach pouch. Has anyone had Revision Surgery to lose weight post gastric bypass and if so, can you tell me/us about your experience with it? I have an appt with my Surgeon on May 30th so I am hoping I can learn from others before I broach the subject with her. Thank You!
