That doesn't sound like good advice from your surgeon. If you have Depression or Anxiety, WLS isn't going to change that and you'll still need your medication. Yes, I still take mine. I have to. And my psychiatrist explained that they'll still absorb just fine and be effective and aren't affected by the WLS.

I have had the sleeve and the RNY. My sleeve failed - for one I had a leak, so was in hospital for 3 months... they tried to place several stents and think they probably stretched things out. Upper GI confirmed my stomach was stretched. So, I have the RNY now. It is a slow process - apparently weight loss is slower with a revision, but I am happy. I woke up from the sleeve hungry and that hunger did not go away. I woke from RNY and I was not hungry and I still find I have minimal hunger. I still have demons that drive me to want to eat that I am working on, but the restriction I have from RNY helps me a LOT. I hope this helps.

I tried the GNC Calcium Citrate chews and they have an awful taste to them. I was dreading having to eat one of these 3 times a day. I tried a few others, and I had to hold my nose while choking them down.
I looked at some reviews online and saw some really good ones for Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chews. I ordered the assorted fruit flavors so I can see if there was any one I liked. In the bag is Orange, raspberry, strawberry & lemon. Got them in the mail super quick. Only 1-2 days. To my absolute delight, these are amazing! They taste like Starburst candy. I actually look forward to eating them!
They are $36 for a bag of 90 (one month supply) and worth every penny! They have many other flavors too...chocolate, caramel, etc.
This find was way too good not to share!
The weight management center at my hospital sells them in their office, so I can get them there for the same price minus the shipping.
If you come across them...grab some!!!

I had the RNY in 2001. Loss 200 lbs but was still over weight. Kept the weight off for nearly a decade then gained it back. Recently I had a revision to DS. I was told by many the DS is the best for the very large to lose the weight and keep it off. So far I’ve lost 50 lbs in two and a half months.
I hope this helps. I know I don’t have much info as to the revision outcome still but so far it’s been worth it.

I would agree. I'd revise to a DS. You probably need that surgery. I don't think you will be happy with the RNY and think you will likely not get to your goal weight with it.
I can say this because I have RNY (virgin surgery) and have a larger capacity. So I do not feel a whole lot of restriction. And food goes through my stoma very easily. So I have to be extremely careful of what goes in my mouth, calorie, volume count and limit food in the face of hunger. And I got to my goal. But it took iron balls to do it. And not everyone can put that kind of limit on themselves.
If you haven't already, you need to have your sleeve evaluated to see if they left too much of the fundus in tact, or if it can be revised to make the sleeve smaller in a re-surgery. If it's surgeon error, they should have to fix it.
If it's your error through overeating or eating around restriction, then a new surgery won't necessary fix your head and you will need to consider counseling along with a new anatomy if you want to avoid having this same discussion in the future.

I have never heard of such a thing as that.
You either have gastric bypass completely.
It sounds troublesome.
Having surgery in Mexico doesn't allow you follow up check ups at all.
You need to be monitored very closely after surgery by your surgeon and nutritionist.
Please think twice about this it just doesn't sound right.

What is a mini gastric bypass? The name alone is problematic for me.
