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 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!!

Protein and water is a problem here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mine is June 5th. Why the revision
