I was revised due to staple line disruption. My original surgery was back in

the dark ages, 1994. And that's just the way it was done then. I had to

have a repair in 2000

A " revision " can refer to changing a VBG to an RNY or BPD/DS, or

changing an RNY to a BPD/DS.

Other answers have hit it on the nail. Mainly the purpose of a

revision is to revise one surgery to another. BUT, in certain

situatons a person can have a mechanical problem, (enlarged

pouch, stricture, etc.) which would require a revision to repair the

defect.

In my case, I don't know if I have an enlarged stoma or pouch,

but I definitely wasn't bypassed enough by my standards and

have had slow weight loss. I know I have done well to get where I

am by following the program, for the most part.

For me, the revision will be from a proximal bypass to a distal

bypass, if I can get insurance to pay for it, and if the surgeon

agrees I am a candidate.
