    Revision surgery

    For me... my pouch did not stretch much but that opening between my stomach and intestines did. My surgeon said it wasn’t anything I could have controlled. I also had the “candy cane” syndrome. Which again happens occasionally and there’s nothing I could do to prevent that.

    Revision surgery

    Revision went really well! I was inpatient only 1 night. The pain directly afterwards was nearly the same as my original surgery but I feel like I felt normal much quicker! I took pain meds only for the first day I was home and then switched to Tylenol. I really am only taking Tylenol because I’ve had a terrible headache/neck ache/ shoulder ache since coming home. I’ve been told that’s my body metabolizing all the anesthesia and it should be gone within a few more days. My diet is identical to post GB. I forgot how hard it was to get all your water in. If you have a similar issue to what I had... run to the doc, don’t walk! It was totally worth it! I’m down 22lbs from my pre-liquid diet and I’m not even a week post-op.

    Revision surgery

    I am having a revision 11-5 due to the opening between my stomach and intestines being way too big. My pouch is still fairly small but Things are passing through my stomach quickly. I have gained about 40lbs. How was recovery for everyone? I’m having the usual pre-surgery anxiety. Thanks, Mary

    Revision

    Hi Jolyn! How did your recovery go? I had an RYN 5.5 years ago and am having a revision done 11/5 due to the same thing. Mary
