Hi everyone, I was revised from sleeve to RNY March 16th due to complications and severe case of GERDS and sadly I'm really regretting I'd rather had kept suffering from previous complications... I have yet to eat anything that I can keep down.... Not to mention my weight loss is at a complete halt for over a month no matter how much I work out....and I'm completely disappointed in both of these surgeries and wish I never had surgery I'm still over 200lbs....

Thanks all. I finally reached the doctor and found out there is evidence of some damage from acid reflex so it looks like Gastric Bypass is the route for me.

@@j16 hang in there your time will eventually come just take this time to mentally prepare for all the life changes that need to made and make sure to do add much research as possible about both procedures after all the Doctor makes a suggestion but in the end is your body so the decision should be ultimately yours. I made the mistake of letting my surgeon choose my procedure and things didn't go so well because of other factors the Doctor never discussed with therefore ended up having to have a revision surgery anyway...... So be patient my friend and good luck on your journey

Hello, everyone I'm new to the gastric bypass forum.... Long story short I had a few terrible complications with the sleeve that I received May 2014 and was just revised to the bypass March 16th. So I'm four days post-op and have some many questions and would really love some input and support.....

Yeah, I've been there over the last year my acid reflux got so bad that I had to be revised to the bypass

Well I'm officially two weeks out from surgery and I've lost 14lbs thus far... However, I'm still having pain in my stomach not to mention today I got extremely nauseous and began to vomit and this continued for a few hours. Sadly I was suppose to start my soft foods today and I can't so I'm back on clear liquids.... My update sucks... Huh

Well I was sleeved May 2014, my deciding factor was severe GERDS which actually completely stopped my weight loss from ever taking place... My sleeve was basically none functioning, I vomited in my sleep every night sometimes during the day this went on for nine months before I decided to start the process of having the revision since none of the meds worked. Since having the revision the GERDS is completely gone and that's a great feeling. I can definitely feel that my stomach is very small and I'm progressing nicely and I'm losing about a pound a day since the day of surgery

@@nailsbyniki yes I'm so miserable I've just finished my pre-admission testing this post Monday on the 7th of March and is being revised on March 16th.... I'm praying for a better outcome from this surgery especially getting some relief from this darn GERDS

It went really well I'm being discharged today I'm getting my fluids in pretty easy

Here is my 4 Month Post-Op Progress Report. Things have really changed over the last 4 months (since I had surgery on November 20th) and wanted to share my continued progress with those that might be interested. I know that I still have work to do, but seeing the weekly progress really helps keep me motivated.



Also, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have offered caring support and advice along the way as well as the BariatricPal weight loss and exercise challenges. I can't do it alone...so THANK YOU!!! And a special THANKS to my wife (as we are taking this journey together each step of the way).

I had a very, very rough surgery to the point that they almost had to back out. they found out my intestines were stuck to my abdominal wall(?) while they were in there, so it didn't give them much wiggle room. I ended up having a 6.5 hour surgery instead of 4, and I had to stay in the hospital an extra night. I'm home now, and I feel amazing 9 days post op. the first 4 were rough, but after that I felt back to normal. I'm down 40 lbs since my 2 week pre op diet, and I'm losing every day. SW: 358.9
CW: 317.6
