Revision RNY to RNY 08/15/16 making pouch 1.5 oz. Can I still lose weight?

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to this site.

I’m having a Revision from RNY to RNY 08/15/16 making my current pouch of 8 oz (1 cup) to a 1.5 oz pouch. Due to enlarged stoma of 3.5 centimeters big. My surgeon told me that I may not lose as much weight as before. Because must people who had revision lose little to no weight, but the issues will be fix.

I don’t understand how I will not loss weight with a new smaller pouch. As long, as I eat healthy, watch portion size, exercise, stay motivated and have a great support system. Which I do.

Can someone offer their opinion or been through this situation their self?

My pouch been 8 ounces for the last 9 years. 3 years ago I start gaining weight and I would look at what I was doing and notice I ate more and the weight came on. And all this is because of the enlarge stoma, malabsorption and weight gain.

I'm only guessing because your body got used to the malabsorption and did the work around that most experience after 12-18 months after surgery when the honeymoon is over.

wow, this has me worried. I am having a revision from sleeve to RNY in August. I was told I would lose a lot of weight so now I'm confused.

If you follow the plan - I don't see why you won't lose weight.
