This is so encouraging to hear! I'm in almost the exact same place. I'd lost the weight and kept it off for years after my sleeve, then new relationship, Covid, blah, blah. The GERD was already out of control and now the gain has got me thinking about revision. I'm researching Bypass vs Switch debating what's best. Just had to cancel my appt with my surgeon when I got Covid, now going to get this going in the next few months. I'm glad to hear it's going well for you. But the pain makes me nervous. I had considerable after my sleeve!

Well I had to take my COVID test on yesterday and it came back negative so my surgery is a go. So I have two days before surgery. i am a little nervous but really looking forward to this Acid reflux to be gone forever.

Just had gastric sleeve to gastric bypass surgery on 10/29/20 for surgical treatment of Chronic GERD/Gastritis/Esophagitis. The good news is I haven't had reflux since surgery. Of course, I've had to deal with the diet restrictions of surgery, but it will be so worth it when I've healed, lost weight and no longer have to sleep in a recliner due to GERD!

that is so cool you were able to get a REVISION. That is what i am trying to get. I have a phone appointment with my primary dr to give authorization to schedule and appointment with my surgeon. I really hope i get approved for REVISION since i have gained 40 lbs and have really bad Gerd. I have Kaiser. I already had an endoscopy and cat scan. I just really hope my surgeon approves me for REVISION. i had bypass surgery 8 years ago.

I just got my authorization for an appointment with the biatric team. Now its up to the case manager. I am crossing my fingers and hope she approves my revision !!! i really hope my Gerd and weight gain qualifies me to get REVISION !

Well it did. Took a couple months for the hunger to go away. I was 216 on revision day. And today I’m 186. I do not regret it. It boy it’s a lot harder than the sleeve. You really gotta chew your food or it will get stuck and if I eat greasy food m tummy hurts and I dump. It helps tho cuz then I make sure not to make bad choices. Lol I’m very happy. I burning and on my reflux med anymore. Soooo nice shy a relief! I do not regret this! :)

Christina. Thank you for the update. It means so much to people like me trying to figure out what to do.
