I did a revision from VSG to RNY two years ago. I NEVER had GERD before.. but I have it now!!!! My throat feels swollen all the time. I have appt to get upper GI imaging, but I'm kind of freaking out in the meantime. I'm on pepcid and omeprazole and it's BARELY allowing me to eat/function normally.

I'm interested to know if you found an answer to your question. I also take vyvanse 70 mg + 10 mg of methlyphenidate

Do you see a therapist? Are uou on any medication? The struggle post op is real! I can't really offer any suggestions, but exercise and meds help me. Also losing weight makes me feel more upbeat and confident and gives me the drive to stick with it. Hang in there.

Good Luck! I just had my sleeve converted to a bypass! I’m two weeks post op!

I was sleeved 2014, never met my goal weight and gained over half my weight back [emoji17]. Being revised to rny on 11/8 due to horrible GERD! My surgeon stated the revision will correct my GERD and well as jump start my weightloss. Would love to hear some revision stories.

I would appreciate joining this group. I was sleeved March 2014 and getting a revision to RNY on November 11th . I would love to hear others experiences. I’m curious if recovery is the same, if the Reflux goes away and if there is weight loss. Also wondering if they adjust the sleeve size in the process.

I’m trying to rally round some more specific support for people that are Sleeve to RNY (either pre or post op RNY). Not sure the best way to do this. I did create a group.... anyone interested? It’s called “Revision Journey.” Anyone interested?

It's not easy ride tho

I am also interested in this. I have the sleeve in 2015, regained weight, and will be having RNY on October 29. I cannot find a lot of information on this and what I have found seems to suggest that much weight loss doesn’t occur. Would love to hear from those who have already had it.

I would be interested. I had the sleeve in 2013, lost 70, gained back 55 so I just had the rny bypass a week ago. I felt like a failure with it not working the first time and recovery has been tougher then expected. I’m really struggling with the liquids only part, although not hungry. Just don’t want to make same mistakes again. Would love support

I am just getting on to these forums. I just had my revision surgery on 9/26/19. I am interested in your Revision Journey.

i dont do well on my phone either so i just dont lol

The app on iPhones is screwed up right now. It's not you. You're still a millennial in good standing 🤣

I'm not sure, but wanted to say I'm 7.5 months post-op and I'm having a egd next month. I've had chronic upset stomach and nausea since surgery. My PA thinks it could be this. Not sure how to cure or treat it?
I try to take protonix everyday, but sometimes I forget. Doesn't seem to help.

I have severe clinical depression and had a gastric bypass.
You can no longer take extended release meds after gastric bypass.
I take bupropion and Zoloft twice a day.
I found a good mix of meds long before surgery and have been pretty consistent though I am sure I have raised the levels at times.
Definitely discuss this with your surgeon and psychiatrist.
I hope this helps.
I know how scary med changes can be.

From my phone I would hit the box that says "quote" if you are responding specifically to 5hat given massage, type your response, then scroll down and hit the box labeled "submit reply" hope that helps

Talk to your surgeon and the anesthesiologist about it. I didn't mention my anxiety I thought I could do it. FF to sitting in the pre-op area and all the goings on. The anesthisologist came in and I told him, he gave me a small dose - I explained to him that I had had a liver biopsy done and they gave me what he just did and it didn't work at all. So, he added to the dose for me. If you have anxiety meds, make sure you can take them and be honest during the pre-op phase. My anesthesiologist even worked through my clausterphobia (no oxygen mask)

Yes I have had therapy weekly for years now.. but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I am more on the side of belief that I’m a good addict, so don’t know that Brain over Binge would work for me... I’ll keep exploring!

I’m scared. I honestly didn’t think that insurance would approve me. I had sleeve in 2017. I was at 275 and my lowest went down to 150. But then I had chronic unexplained Migraines daily and I sought out food for comfort. I gained 50 pounds back. My sleeve is completely stretched. Somehow I miraculously was approved for revision to bypass. I still am in shock that insurance approved.

The thing is. I feel like a failure. I have bing eating disorder and even though I’m in therapy, it still consumes me. I am scared that I’ll fail at this second chance or that I’ll have complications.

I completely stretched my sleeve due to binging.

I've never been a binge eater, having said that I just don't have stuff in the house that is not good for me. Sometimes if only a piece of dark chocolate will quiet the voice I break a corner off and savor it. I would go back to your counselor to see why and what is causing it. Also have you tried OA they may help too before you lose your way.

I've posted about this in the past, so you may want to do a search, but the answer is, yes, you may indeed have problems absorbing antidepressants. I did. At first we switched from extended release Effexor to immediate release and it wirked for a few months. Suddenly I started experiencing withdrawal symptoms and realized I was not absorbing the Effexor. Switched to liquid Prozac and it seems to be absorbing well. I had bypass.
