Oh my word!! I had the revision from sleeve to RNY on 6/6. I had some Peanut Butter chocolate milkshake today. Just a 1/4 of a small sonic cup. I have been so ill!! Do not eat sugar! I don’t know if I ever will again after today. Headache and nausea is horrible.
Also, how long were you off work after RNY. My revision was because of a bad stricture/stenosis. I lost 90lbs with the sleeve. I am 180 now but my doctor said I did not have a choice but to get a revision because my stomach was so bad. RNY is not what I wanted but the GERD and nausea were awful. Will I lose much more?
Sitting here feeling like I’m going to barf.

I'm having a revision from sleeve to GB on 6/5 due to a stricture we just found. My surgery was in 2012 and I too lost 90 lbs. I'm angry about the revision because if I had wanted GBS I would have got that in the beginning. Now my whole stomach has to be restructured because my sleeve is now a tiny little tube. No clue the cause.

I’m 3 days on my preop diet. Today my stomach has hurt so bad I could hardly stay at work. Do you think it’s the increase in Protein Shakes. I’m drinking the Premier 30g.

Hello all! Today I start my 2 week pre-op diet for a revision from the sleeve to gastric bypass. My sleeve was 12/2012 and I’ve had nothing but problems and a terrible doctor (ugh). Well I stopped with that doctor soon after the surgery (LONG STORY) and was followed by my PCP. Other Bariatric doctors would not follow me because of the original doctor. Finally a doctor who had worked with both my Mom and Dad agreed to see me. It was like a consult about my weight loss and habits. That was in 2015 ish. I continued to have problems like severe heartburn and nausea. Finally they did an endoscopy and found a large stricture. Who knows how long it’s been that way. Because of the multiple problems insurance agreed to pay for the revision. First, I’m furious that I even have to get the revision. I thought I was playing it safer with that procedure. I did lose 90 pounds but still need to take off another 40-50 lbs. Who knows how long the stricture has been there. Now I have a great doctor!!!! I’m so happy about that because I need that consistent follow up and a doctor who will LISTEN to me. I’m just discouraged because the sleeve failed. Now I’m not sure what to expect. I do KNOW that a better doctor with good follow-up is essential. Any feedback on sleeve to bypass revision because of complications is more than welcome.

2012 I had the sleeve and lost 278-190lbs. Well, right out of surgery I had to worst heartburn EVER. Doc treated. About 2 years ago I began to really struggle w reflux at night. Last month we discovered a stricture. Insurance approved bypass. I need to hear from anyone who has had this revision so I will know what to expect.

I was June 6th. Had an allergic reaction to two medications and ran 102 fever. Had to stay an extra day and lost another week of work. Horrible experience!!
