Had surgery 2005, lost 175 pounds, gained 60 back. I am 72 years old and exercise 5 days per week, mostly eat well and having a heck of a time losing. I can maintain my weight but that's about it. Any others in the same boat? Considering checking into revision surgery? Any thoughts or experiences with a revision?

I went up and down in weight after surgery. I lost around 120 lbs originally but have gained some of it back. It sounds like your doing everything right with exercise and healthy eating. You asked about revisional bariatric surgery. I have not had it, but searched in this group and did not find a discussions addressing this topic. It is mentioned in some comments in other discussions.
You may want to start a new discussion specifically asking about revisional bariatric surgery. You may find members who have had or are considering it.

I had surgery in 2005. Lost 80 pounds, but, did t hit my target weight. I was up and down by 10 pounds. I am a diabetic and my Dr. put me on Ozempic before everyone learned about the weight loss powers of this drug. I even had trouble getting my meds because everyone wanted it. However, I lost an additional 20 pounds. No more. My body is staying right where it wants to be. I’d like to lose another 10 pounds to hit my goal, but, it isn’t happening. My Dr. explained to me that Diabetics don’t lose the same amount of weight that non diabetics do. I will be on this drug for the rest of my life for Diabetic reasons only. I know if got off of the main topic, but, when I did put on weight (before the Ozempic) it was totally my own fault. Also, before and after my surgery I had to meet with a Nutritionist and Psychiatrist. That part is really important. Good luck.
