Yes, I did go through the stages again. I was losing a good amount in the beginning. I dropped 60 lbs with the revision. Ive just put a little back on since 8 months ago. I put back on 10 of those. Ive been told it could be from me having 2 more surgeries since then, but am worried so trying to make sure i stay on track. I went through the stages however, i want to say not to get discouraged for there isnt huge changes like there was with the first one. It also took a bit more of a toll on me for i have gotten older since the last one. One great thing this time was no drain hoses. Dont know if you experienced those , but they are terrible.

Im older, 51years, and had the gastric bypass for I gained so much weight from illnesses and injuries. I went up to 550 lbs and everything in my body hurt. I couldnt hardly walk and forget about setting down in a tub. My degenerative disc disease in my back was causing severe pain everyday. The doctors told me of the risk, but for me it was about lessing the pain i felt. I needed help after recovering from heart failure from the flu. I decided to do it. I lost 278 lbs after my bypass. I will tell you that i did have some pain afterwards from the drain they had to leave in, but that was not for to long. Before I knew it I was dropping weight so fast that i was in disbelief. It was a wonderful feeling. I could walk around again, dance with my husband, play with my grandkids. All those things are the exact reason i got mine. Also it takes commitment, i started to gain back and am working to get back on path. However, i wouldnt have changed my choice ever. Good luck.

I was having the same exact problem, and seen my doctor for it was getting worse. I ended up being prescribed something for GERD . Weight loss surgery can end up causing problems with acid and that terrible nausea i would get after eating no matter the amount or substance. I hope this helps . Good luck.

Im new here , but feel like i need to find a pal to chat with to maybe went through some things like me. Go first gastric bypass 2011 after having heart failure. Went from 550 lbs down to 254 lbs. I was so happy . Became a teacher ect. Then from 2013 to 2018, i ended up needing 3 surgeries. Weight started to come back. Then in 2018 got injured at work, needed two surgeries on my knee. One being total knee replacement. I got revision for i had put weight back on from being down from leg. However, i didnt lose that much from revision and fill like ive lost myself again. Im at 295 and really want to at least loose 40 to 50 more but have plateaued and kind given up . Had my revision done 8 months ago.
