  1. Thanks
    Mendy323232 reacted to GreenTealael in What’s your revision story? Was your revision as effective as your first surgery?   
    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 ❤️

    Mendy323232 got a reaction from GreenTealael in Sleeve to Ryn...Help   
    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?
