Hi @kakatlady612. Thanks for your reply and kind words of encouragement. Yes I am I Australia. I will post once done. All the best to you x

Mine is today , 12th Feb. 2am here and in hospital at 6.30am. This is my nightly ritual as the reflux seems to be so horrible at nights. I will be having revision from sleeve to bypass. Sleeve gave me hideous GERD and did not lose a kg! Sent from my SM-T815Y using BariatricPal mobile app

@bearhugs1975.. thanks for the reply. That is great news and you look wonderful. I have surgery now booked for 12th Feb and I can't wait. This GERD is killing me. Averaging 4 hrs sleep a night. Thanks a bunch..

Hi@bearhugs1975 how did you go with your revision surgery and the bypass Sent from my SM-N920I using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for replying ..wow.. that is 9kgs in 3 weeks..impressive and your reflux is reduced or gone? I know I have to do it but if I can look forward to success with weight loss too that will make me a lot happier. I would hate to have another unsuccssful weight loss surgery.

I was sleeved August 2016 and the reflux is so bad now that I have it all the time. It can just come at you like a bus and there is no relief. I just had a gastroscopy and numerous other test for stomach PH including being continually X-ray whilst laying down after eating radioactive porridge... GERD suffers worst nightmare.. porridge and laying flat - for 90- mins!! I have had a lot of acid damage done to my oesophagus with limited relief. The drugs barely help me. So off to see the surgeon again Jan 2 and looks like I will have to convert to RNY. I do not want to do this. However the sleeve did nothing for me. Did not lose a Kilo...I had converted from the lapband to sleeve and I think I could eat more once the band was out as it just made me so sick. So here I am again... almost at Step 1. Has anyone converted from band to sleeve then onto bypass? I am interested to know what the weight loss is like? I do want my gerd fixed, but dammit, I want this weight gone too :-0 Any advise is helpful.... I just feel so sorry for my poor stomach :-(

Yours is the post I was looking for bear hugs...I had a band 2007 the band revision 2014 the gastric sleeve august 2016. I have lost no weight with it at all and the worst reflux ever..I am really thinking about the bypass but wonder if my stomach has been through enough already. Wondering why you are revising?

Wow Rhonda Dawson same problem. Can I ask when you had your sleeve done? I feel like getting the bypass but then after 2 lapband revisions, a sleeve and shocking reflux might be best to give my poor stomach a rest!

Wwow owwl

I had the band 2008. Ok to start with then failed. Revision 2015. Nothing lost at all. Needed to lose 20kgs for a hip replacement operation. So August 2016 had the band removed and sleeve done all in one operation. I have lost about 6kgs only... really amazing when I see stories of others losing 40kgs in a year. My weight loss was all just post op. Then nothing since. I wonder if I wasn't overeating anyway as the band was a beast to get things through...maybe this decision was wrong for me. Seems the sleeve is best for people who ate large portions. I think now I should have gone bypass also it would have eliminated my dreadful reflux. Good luck with your decision.

Sleeved in August6. 3am still away perched on 3 pillows with shocking acid reflux. It is horrible. Taking Nexium with limited success. This is killing me! Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App

Thank you @ you are precious. I appreciate your help. Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App

Ok, so I may seem pathetic. However... won't stop me! I was sleeved 20th August, So just over 3 weeks ago. Off to see my surgeon tomorrow. I lost 5 kgs rather quickly , then NOTHING for the last week!! Too bizarre, everyone keeps saying it kicks in and then just comes off, but I have that feeling, as happens with me.... that will be the case with everyone else but not me.. doomed to be fat! Scaring me a bit, to go to this trouble and still be this size.. grrrrrrrrr. Also suffering terribly from acid reflux and nausea, my stomach feels constantly like it is on the verge of food poisoning sort of grumbling and terrible diarrhoea the last 24 hours. Just whinging really, but hoping and praying that one day my stomach will feel normal, not sensitive and high maintenance. Thanks for listening. xxx

I had band removed and sleeved in the same day. Very successful operation. Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App
