I had a revision in March for kyphosis and sagittal imbalance and am doing very well so far. I don't know if the cause of my problems are the same as yours but my symptoms were exactly the same. I HATED having to stoop over every day just to walk around my house at the "young" age of 50. It was very very fatiguing and took alot out of me physically and emotionally. The surgery itself is every bit if not more complicated as the original surgery as my surgeon told me but I just had to do it. All my surgery took place in the lumbar area and he took the hardware out and replaced it, up to L3 because he did an osteotomy which is like a 'wedge' cut in my vertrebral bone at that level. I pictured it as cranking my spine back to 'straight'. I join in the chorus and recommend the 2nd and 3rd opinions. Make sure these are experienced revision surgeons. Again, my situation may not be what yours is so I can only speak for my own experience. Good luck in finding your solutions!
