Well I first had the lap band which only lasted under two years because it gave me terrible acid and I was told there was a Rosian so my band is taken out, because I had problems with acid I should've gone to the RN why but my surgeon converted me to the VSG. After the VSG I had terrible issues with eating it took almost 6 months just to get out of mushy stage. And I've had problems ever since. Life has been very hard when it comes to eating I could just literally open my mouth after eating and my food comes out. So if you'd like my advice I think you should take your doctors recommendation and do the RNY. Avoid all the problems that I've had and many of us here

I had my sleeve for over 3 years. It took me almost 5 months to be able to eat mushy foods. Then I had a stricture I had an endoscopy next and I was told last year that I had Barrett's esophagus. Not nice, so I'm looking forward to the RNY. I'll be praying for everyone here for a speedy and easy recovery let's all keep in touch

Thank you all for the positive responses I'm wanting to rest but I have to keep walking, I'm trying to ease the neck , shoulder and back pain. The gas is the worst. Other than that I'm so glad it's over. The healing Noe begins.

I initially wanted to have the sleeve but my doctor said that since I already have severe acid reflux that RNY was the only option for me. So RNY it is for me on November 30th. Best wishes and good luck!

I had band to bypass on Oct 3. I stayed the normal 2 nights in hospital. Recovery went very well. I have lost 23 lbs and I'm doing great. I never had GERD before surgery. Had some bad heartburn in hospital. I take my PPI as directed (once a day) no issues.

Hi just there, I'm having surgery for the same reason. VSG to RNY on the 26th in northern Cali

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver so that surgery is safer. You need to go into ketosis for this to happen and that means no carbs. It's very important that you stick with the diet from here on. Some have had surgery cancelled due to their liver not shrinking enough. It's not worth chancing.

Hi KristenLe. Yes. I totally understand. Second day of pre-op. Did much better. Having all the clear liquid I can and keeping myself busy unpacking and organizing the new place. Seems to help distracting me from wanting to eat. Its not easy but I keep reassuring myself is going to be all worth. Looking forward to a healthy life.

Try to take a walk when it's dinner time or anytime your family is sitting down to eat and chew on some ice.

Hi all! Today I start my pre-op liquid diet for my surgery on the 26th. I don't like starting over, but I am so glad I got approved and scheduled so I can finally get rid of this reflux. I am a little nervous about the surgery, mainly because I had a LOT of nausea after my sleeve surgery in May. But, then again, I feel like I have a slight advantage because I know a little more about what to expect. I hope we can all keep in touch as we go along...thanks again for your support!

Hi, our weights and issues are so similar. I also had the sleeve in July 2013. Did pretty well lost 58 pounds but struggling with terrible acid reflux. Was approved for bypass but have chickened out twice. Decided to take this step after much prayer and research. I felt like a failure because the 58 pounds I lost have slowly crept back. I have gained back 36 pounds. I am just tired and devastated from this roller coaster. It really is a journey for life.
