I was sleeved in 2012, developed severe GERD along with erosion of the esophagus. My total weight loss from sleeve was 55 pounds. My sleeve was converted to RNY on Dec 6th and as of today I no longer suffer with acid reflux and have lost 25 pounds.. So far so good.....

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.


No problem, the reflux is actually gone. I started on semi solids this week and sometimes get the hiccups when I'm too full but other than that, everything is fine. Only thing is that I have to remember to eat and drink because I don't have an appetite and feels like I'm getting dehydrated at times.

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 :-(

I was sleeved in 2012 lost 60 pounds total and developed GERD and erosion of the esophagus. I had revision to RNY done Dec 6th and have lost 20 pounds as of today. I was advised that weight loss wouldn't be as much as first surgery but as long as the acid reflux is gone I'm happy. I've been able to tolerate Crystal Light lemonade and before I wasn't...

I had a revision to RNY because of severe acid reflux and erosion of the esophagus. Surgery date was 12/6/201lbs. Today 190lbs.. I was told by my doctor to expect to lose about 40% excess weight so time will tell.
