if you read enough posts it seems that the rate of loss is a little slower after revision
I’m currently 2 yrs post revision from VSG to RNY (for GERD not regain) and for me I have been able to maintain the same weight I was with VSG but I’m now GERD free.
Initially I lost a little but since I was already at goal my surgeon wanted me to maintain not lose so I ate whatever I wanted for a short period of time. Then went back to normal (post bari lifestyle of moderation and overall food changes/substitution)

Knowing what I now know, I think revisioners should consider asking their surgeons:
1. No GERD but substantial regain- Should I consider VSG to DS/SIPS for greater weightloss?
2. GERD and substantial regain- Should I convert from VSG to RNY with a longer bypass?
3. GERD but no regain- Should I convert from VSG to RNY with a slightly shorter bypass to prevent excess loss?
Good Luck ❤️

Hi, I’m having surgery on 9/22 to convert my sleeve to rny cause of GERD. It's been 10 yrs since I've had my sleeve done, and nowadays, I could almost get a hamburger.

My doctor is not touching my sleeve, just rerouting for my GERD. Would I still lose weight even though I hardly have any restrictions?
