I'm having a revision from sleeve to bypass due to ulcers. I had revision from lapband to sleeve in 2014 due to my band ulcerating completely through my stomach. I lost 23lbs with the band, gained 70, lost 127 with the sleeve, have gained 30. So, maybe I'll lose the 80lbs total I need to lose this time.

I am two years post op from VSG and am being revised to RNY for esophageal erosion. Unfortunalty, this is not my first revision rodeo. I was revised from the band due to ulceration. I am extremely scared of the RNY. Please supply me with any and all info and wisdom you have for me. I have no idea what to expect short term and long term.

I flew to Dallas the other day for an appt with a surgeon who was able to get me in next day. My sleeve and esophogas is eroded and I have to have a revision to RNY. I'm on weekly infusions, meds to coat my stomach in hopes of keeping food down, and zofran until surgery. I'm so disappointed and scared! I've now failed TWO WLS's!

I had a revision from a band to a sleeve in 2012 because my band ulcertated. When I had my sleeve, I was told that if it ever ulcerated I'd have have to revise to the bypass. I've been avoiding the symptoms for a year and now I can not eat or have a sip of Water without vomiting. I have heartburn almost always, and I belch frequently. I've moved to another state since surgery, and there are no Bari Surgeons in my area, and the GI dr's won't see me because I've had 5 abdominal surgeries. Anyway, has anyone had their sleeve ulcerate? What was the treatment? Has anyone had to revise from sleeve to bypass?
