Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this continued difficulties with your weight despite already undergoing surgery for this. What procedure was carried out and what makes you think it needs a revision. It would be best to follow through with a the same doctor or institution who did this first so that they can detail all that was done. If there are other procedures beside what they did, then you may be considered for them. Please, weigh loss efforts need to be continued even after surgery by controlling our diet and exercising often. Without these, failure may be very common.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
