I guess I'm confused at your story -- you said you've already had gastric bypass? I thought that was the most radical of surgeries. Or, perhaps I'm missing something and those more experienced will have a better idea of what you are referring to.

WELCOME to VST regardless.

Nope, I'm confused?? But, I agree maybe someone more experienced will understand?

There are a lot of people who gain all their weight back with gastic bypass. Their stomachs stretch out easily. It's easy to lose weight the first year, but unless they continue to eat small portions and stay away from junk, the weight will come back on. I have seen it with just about all the people I know who had gastric bypass.

Actually, the most radical is the DS. And people with RnY do revise to it. Also, sometimes they put a lapband around the stoma to tighten it.

But I'm confused too. :lol0:

I'm just wondering? 30 years ago? I wonder if maybe they had their stomach stapled? I think that was common 30 years ago? This may explain, the person wondering if they can be revised?

I know one person who had a stomach stapling about 30 years ago, and of course it streched back out, they didn't realize back then, that it wouldn't work long term because of stretching.

If this is the case, they maybe could be converted to sleeve? Or maybe converted to DS?

We need more information. Which type of bypass did you get? Distal? How much intestine was bypassed? Or did they just do the stomach stapling?

WELCOME to VST regardless.

DS is more extreme than bypass. Sometimes RNY can be revised to DS but not always. Each person is different.

The OP is describing the old stomach stapling procedure but calling it bypass. I think a lot of folks with the 70s/80s version of the stomach stapling were told it was bypass, I've seen that written too many times for them to not be told they were bypassed.

If it was the old stomach stapling revision options are better. If it was bypass revision options are limited.

Ask your Doctor about the "rose Procedure". It is used to shrink the pouch back to the size it was after surgery. I dont know if it would work in all bypass surgeries but its something to look into. Here is a link to some info and video. ROSE Procedure at Los Angeles Weight Loss Centers

Also do a search on www.obesityhelp.com for rose procedure, there may be people who have had it done.

Sadly Rose, Revise, and Stomaphyx are big failures. People usually lose a few pounds and that's it. The clips they use to tighten up the pouch break as soon as the person starts on solid food. (
