Hello, just wondering if anyone has had a revision with Dr. Duncan in Atlanta.  Ga and how it went? I'm scheduled....he said one patient didn't lose very much....but I'm hopeful.....

Not familiar with Dr. Duncan but my surgeon told me several times that I may not lose any weight with my revision.  I'm not sure he told me that because I had failed so miserably the first time or what.  

I had the revision because of unpleasant side effects and because I was very sick and I really didn't care about losing weight at that point. I just didn't want to keep gaining.  I just didn't want to be sick any more.

I decided that since I was getting a second chance I would use my first WLS as a learning tool and give my revision a real shot by following the rules, which I never did the first time.

My weight loss exceeded my expectations because I addressed my eating issues and made changes in how I ate.  I use my surgery as a tool now, something I didn't know how to do the first time.

WLS 10/28/2002 Revision 7/23/2010

High Weight  (2002) 240 Revision Weight (2010) 220 Current Weight 115.
