 I had Gastric Bypass surgery done 25 years ago I lost some weight but gained it back plus more. I am now 50 years old and and have Iron Deficiency I am Anemic and recently found out I have a Hiatal Hernia and Gastric Polyps. I have an appointment in Toronto next month to see a Specialist to do Revision Weight Loss Surgery I am wondering if anyone out here has had this surgery done. As I have gotten older I am more scared and unsure if this is the right thing to do any advice or personal stories would be appreciated.

Thanks so much Dawn for directing back here I really do hope to get some answers from people that have had the Revision surgery. And I also hope I can lend some support and answers to all who need it from my years of having the Gastric Bypass surgery done.

I'm another Revision surgery - mine was November 13th. I have admittedly had a longer recovery than I expected to, but I have not regretted it FOR A SECOND. It's the best thing I've ever done, no question. :)
