Open RNY revision

[Kat68 0]

I had my open RNY in 2001. Lost 140lbs , then gained 80 lbs back. I am interested in revision surgery. What options do I have? Who was your doctor ? I would appreciate sharing your information with me. I was told by my original surgeon that there is nothing he can do!

Hello Kat68

Hope all is well. I am not sure if revision is possible after having gastric bypass but I will ask my surgeon since I have a appt with him and can find out but if it's not possible, I believe you will have to start following the guidelines for losing weight by eating Portion Control and seeing a nutritionist. It is possible to lose again. I know a few people that went back and followed the stages of eating for gastric bypass. Where do you live? I have a great surgeon and his name is Collins Braithwaite and he is in Garden City in Long Island. His number is (516) 663-3300. If you decide to call him tell him Ana Santiago-Siddiqi referred you to him. He is the medical and chief director of Bariatric Surgury and I know him very well and I also work for same hospital. I trust him 💯 percent and he has helped me a lot and basically saved my life in many ways. I have a question. Did you gain the weight just like that or did you start eating more than usual? If that is the case you can start all over and cut down. It happens but don't get discourage.
