Rerouting the intestine from the original pouch. Creating a new pouch closer to the valve at the bottom of the stomache and further reducing the enlarged small intestine.

Update- I just had an endoscopy performed. We found out the pouch is quite large and there is a fistula connecting the pouch to the remnant stomach. This info is being presented to the insurance, and hopefully the revision is approved.

Prior to the procedure I decided to pursue the revision despite the predicted results. I felt like I owed myself the opportunity to try again. In the interim, I've been meeting with a nutritionist to improve my eating habits.

Im happy.

Have you had your revision yet? I'm thinking about doing it so would like to know how you're doing. Thanks

Great work!

All set for 8/23/19. This is my 2nd rny gastric bypass. First one was 17 years ago. Then I was 516 lbs, lost down to 175, bounced back to 400. This is my last rodeo. Gotta make it happen. Got 9 grandkids that love their Papaw.

I also had mine around 2002 and am planning on a revision to reduce my pouch and tighten my stoma. I was around 350, lost 140 and have gained it back. My bypass is already distal. What exactly are they going to do duringyour surgery? Thank you

Thank you Valerie for the very helpful information and congrats on your progress!! 👏❤

I had a distal Roux en Y gastric bypass around 2002. I had lost about 140 pounds but have gained most of it back. Has anyone had their Roux en Y pouch reduced and stoma tightened? The doc has already approved me for surgery. I'm wondering if anyone has had this done. Thank you!! 😊
