Thanks you so much! I am home recovering....not too bad so far. It's actually easier to keep up with my liquids and protein this time. I have not felt any GERD and I'm down 3 pounds lol

Wow! Congratulations on your weight loss! I’m hopeful since I didn’t lose much with the sleeve that the bypass will do the trick! I’m also a lot more knowledgeable this time around. I’m also looking forward to no heartburn!!

I’m so glad you have had an awesome journey. After my sleeve, there were things that I couldn’t do either. One of them being water. Plain water just doesn’t sit well with me. I drink zero calories propel. I can’t do soda because the carbonation gets “stuck” in my chest…frankly, I’m glad. It has kept me away from coke for 4 years! Lol Good luck to you!

No reflux sounds like a dream! Congratulations on your amazing progress, that’s awesome! Have you had issues with food like dumping or food that make you sick?

Hi everyone, I have a revision scheduled for 8/8 which is almost exactly 4 years after my VSG. I have had acid reflux the whole time and it’s been way worse the past year. As far as weight loss is concerned I only ended up losing about 40 pounds at my lowest and I’ve gained back about 15 of them. I am hoping for no more reflux and some additional weight loss. I know it’s slower the second time around but I’d love to hear your stats. Things like your gender, weight loss amount with revision, duration it took you to lose, reflux situation…. Me: Female, 43, 5’4” start of VSG: 255, lowest: 214 start of RNY: 228 (hoping to be at 220 by surgery date)
