Burning pain from left incision
mrsjo replied to Skinnyagain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Our surgeon and educational staff said if you have the bypass your pain is worse on left bc that’s where they insert the largest trocar. If you have sleeve it tends to be on the right because that’s where the largest one is with that procedure. This may not be the same surgeon to surgeon but for what it’s worth that’s what they said. It is such bad pain sometimes people go to the ER so they wanted us to know up front what it was. Good to know you’re feeling better though 😀 -
Hello All, I was banded in 2013. I lost around 85lbs. I have had issues, and now will soon (within the next 2 months) have the band removed and have bypass done. I was hoping to find a friend to go on this journey with. Thanks to all

It has been soooo so long. How are you doing? I am in the process of having the lapband removed, going to bypass. How is your journey? Hope to hear back soon. I have missed the site. -

Slow weight loss after Revision

It's pretty common to have slower weight loss with revisions than with virgin surgeries. -
April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Vixenvic1 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, I had my mini gastric bypass (with omega loop) on the 12th April here in Dubai where I live (originally from the UK though). Stayed one night in hospital and was discharged yesterday. Wow!! The pain! I have 3 incisions, one of them my surgeon said I had weak core muscles and he had to stitch the muscle as he didn’t think they would knit back together naturally and that this would hurt for a while. My God! Every time I move it’s awful. Im also feeling so low! Anybody else in this stage? I really am right now full of regret due to the lack of sleep, the amount of pain and just lack of energy I have. I’ve been put on one week of clear liquids so yesterday I drank some chicken bone broth which I will have again today with my electrolytes, coconut water and water. -

Slow weight loss after Revision
liveaboard15 replied to Kimsmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your first surgery was a band? then you revised it to what in 2017? and you just had bypass a few weeks ago? Are you sticking to the program? Following the diets and such? But you are just out of surgery and healing. Some people are slower than others and some loose a ton of weight quick. But as long as you stick to it and follow your programs diets and recommendation you will loose the weight. -
I am having a very slow weight loss. I had my first surgery 3/2000 and VBG revised in 2017. I gained 80 pounds and had a gastric bypass on 3/23/2022. Wondering if anyone else had these issues?

VSG to RNY - First time diagnosed with GERD. Two years post op!
liveaboard15 replied to PepperCat's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Yea that is odd. I always thought gastric bypass eliminates it since the esophagus is no longer connected to the stomach where the acid is produced. -
Screwed up the PreOp diet today
fourmonthspreop replied to DJ Carmickle's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol I remember caving in one day in the middle of my pre op diet and ate half a bag of cheetos. Then I started spitting them out after chewing them because I NEEDED the taste in my mouth but felt so guilty swallowing it...turned out just fine! I got back on the diet and remembered why I was even doing it in the first place. Having a healthy distraction helps too and if you really need to chew on something have a sugar free popsicle or some ice. As long as you get back on the horse and keep your digestive system clean 2 days before surgery you're going to be fine. Remember it's also a lot easier to follow these crazy diets once you're bypassed/sleeved. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app -
VSG to RNY - First time diagnosed with GERD. Two years post op!
PepperCat posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I did a revision from VSG to RNY two years ago. I NEVER had GERD before.. but I have it now!!!! My throat feels swollen all the time. I have appt to get upper GI imaging, but I'm kind of freaking out in the meantime. I'm on pepcid and omeprazole and it's BARELY allowing me to eat/function normally. -
GERD after revision, SOS!
PepperCat replied to joeyangel99's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)

Pureed diet need new ideas
I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ replied to Stephy2014's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Refried beans is another option. I'd add a load of fire sauce and then some Greek yogurt on the side, in place of sour cream, since you can't have cheese. I have an unnatural love affair of all things hot and spicy. I hope I can still eat spicy stuffies after the bypass. -

Happy to hear that your revision is going so well! Keep it up! -
Wind and stool problems post op
Mona Ometuruwa replied to Gym's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a mini bypass in February and have had the same problem. Loose stools and gas. I find my odours revolting, as does my family. I think it may be related to what I eat. Recently I ate some fatty food on my birthday and the next day, I had diarrhoea and could barely make it to the toilet. It's so gross, and I feel your pain. -
Revision from sleeve to bypass
katherinep replied to lions92's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Thank you for responding to my post. did you have more nerves for your revision surgery? For some reason I have more anxiety for this one as opposed to my sleeve. -
never. Without gastric bypass i would still be short of breath, headaches, blood pressure, etc. Very happy and i wish you all luck! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Large Hiatal hernia: Bypass or Sleeve
Mariann812 replied to Mariann812's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thank you. Your reply is quite helpful. Because of the possibility of GERD with the sleeve, I am leaning towards the bypass. I will ask my surgeon about the procedure you mentioned. thanks again! -

RNY GB to DS Revision
Guest replied to cjwilson80's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So...it's about how much of the intestines are bypassed. Also the DS pouch is essentially a sleeve because it's pyloric valve sparing. Read more here https://www.dsfacts.com/comparison-of-ds-and-rny/ -
Large Hiatal hernia: Bypass or Sleeve
Smanky replied to Mariann812's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had a Mini Bypass (a quicker surgery than the typical RNY), and had my large hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. It was a surprise to both my surgeon and I, as I was never aware I had a hernia. He didn't tell me how much of my stomach was in my chest, but he called it a "large hiatal hernia" and guessed I'd had it for at least a decade. If your surgeon offers the Mini Bypass/Omega Loop, give it a look. I had pre-existing GERD, so a sleeve was too great a risk of having even worse reflux post-surgery. With the bypass, my GERD is gone. -
RNY GB to DS Revision
Guest replied to cjwilson80's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
With both you get a small stomach pouch. With DS it's essentially a much more radical bypass. RNY has a very small malabsorption component. DS is much larger. It's the most powerful procedure available that statistically leads to the greatest percentage of excess weigh loss. -

Gastric bypass and hiatal hernia repair 27th april
katherinep replied to Merill's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a gastric sleeve surgery 9/2012. this year I have had horrific GERD. After the endoscope and swallow test ,they found the gastrointestinal hiatal hernia. The swallow test showed the hernia and severe GERD with divertculum on the stomach wall. I have a manometry test next week but my dr agrees that I need hernia repair and revision surgery June 16 is my surgery date. -
Re-sleeve
SleeveToBypass2023 replied to justforme1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I didn't know you could be resleeved. I thought it was a one-and-done thing and if a revision was needed, you go to RNY or DS. -
Omg that is so good to hear I can't wait till they fix mine mine is pretty bad as well and it will be the same time as the gastric bypass I was told the operation lasts about 3 to 5 hours fingers crossed all goes[emoji4][emoji1696][emoji120] Sent from my SM-N981B using BariatricPal mobile app
