gerd/vomiting and bypass
girlonfire22119 replied to mcdonal1's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had daily vomiting for about 10 years with a vertical silastic ring gastroplasty. I had a revision to bypass 5 weeks ago and I can already tell a significant difference. I wish I had not waited so long. -
February 2019 weight loss buds
girlonfire22119 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a revision from vertical silastic ring gastroplasty to RNY in February. I’m 5 weeks post op. So far so good. Knowing what to eat and what to avoid is a learning process. I have been sticking to more liquid than solids most days. -
I’m 12 years post op lap-band, very successful until it slipped a few months ago. I’m having revision surgery lap-band to gastric bypass I’m very excited.

Duodenal Switch after Gastric Sleeve
SeattleLady replied to NY1966's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi, I in the process of being approved for revision. My doctor plan is to go from sleeve to ? I was sleeved in 2014. I recently found out my sleeve is not a sleeve at all. That is why I have GERD. I also have a hernia. I been suffering for awhile. My GERD gets me up in the middle of the night. The bad stuff like bread does not give me reflux. However, get harburn from water. I was testing this week there is damage. I just didn't want cancer. I also have a hernia. I am happy to have this second chance. I am also worried. Can you share with me a little of your studies and why you did the revision? Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app -
“TRIAL AND ERROR Go with the plan laid out for you by your Team and revise it if needed. Usually low cal will do it but also switching things up when you think you need to. Revision results are different from 1st time surgeries. Some say slower. But you can still achieve great results in the long run.” Thank you. So far my weight loss with revision is the same as I lost with the sleeve. My team guidelines say under 1000 calories and under 50 carbs, but honestly that just seems high to me and I’m hoping to no not waste time eating much to find out it doesn’t work for me. By the same logic I don’t want to eat too little either, lol.

Not a VET but perhaps... TRIAL AND ERROR Go with the plan laid out for you by your Team and revise it if needed. Usually low cal will do it but also switching things up when you think you need to. Revision results are different from 1st time surgeries. Some say slower. But you can still achieve great results in the long run.

Question for vets...I’m 6 weeks out, getting all my fluids, protein in and carbs about 20g. I’m wanting to make sure I’m getting maximum weight loss in these first 6 months (I’m a revision and terrified of not being successful this time) but I see conflicting information about either keeping calories low (around the 600 mark) or eating more to get calories in the 800-1000 range because “your not eating enough”. What is your experience when in the losing phase?

The only people who will know I had revision surgery? My husband and kids. The last time it was to much attention and pressure. It triggered me to eat and hide. I have faced most of my past trauma. This time it's my business what I weight. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

SLEEVE Revision to Loop DS
reachbree replied to Patrickml02's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I don't have experience with having a revision just yet though I am looking into it as I have gained 35lbs of the weight ive lost. Is this something that your insurance approved or are you paying out of pocket? I have heard that vsg is only a partial procedure. the Full procedure would be the DS. -
Hello Lisa, I had a gastric sleeve 2 1/2 years ago and also had severe Acid reflux / Gerd. I was sick six out of every seven days on average. I tried behavior modifications and several medications but they only worked for a short time. I became more and more concerned about Esophageal cancer so I finally had RnY revision surgery January 30, 2019 (about eight weeks ago). Since then I have had essentially no Acid reflux. I am still adjusting to the new diet regimen and yes it seems a little more restricting than my experience with the sleeve but I am progressing nicely and believe I made the correct decision. So I say do it. You won’t regret it and you’ll probably loose more weight.

Hi, I hope you do well. I am also having a revision from sleeve to bypass. What happen with your sleeve? How long since your sleeve surgery? Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I’m about to have a sleeve division to a Loop DS. I would love to hear some success stories or failures even. I e read that the Loop DS is not as successful. Since it only started in 2007, there isn’t a lot of long term data. I just want to make sure I have just less likely chance of gaining the weight back with a Loop DS as I would with a regular DS.

Good luck! Remember why you’re doing this, to improve your future. Lying here in UK @ 8am, 5 days post band to sleeve revision surgery. Feel like I’ve been run over but know it’ll pass, baby steps. You’re doing a positive thing! Best Wishes........... see you on the other side!!!! -
My lap band revision to RNY is Friday the 29th of March. I just got approved yesterday and they are rushing me through because my insurance switches at the end of the month. So my head is spinning with excitement. I have had the band since 9/06. Tried to get a revision in 2016 when I had all kinds of complications but insurance wouldn’t approve it and the thought of gaining my weight back was a worse feeling. Fast forward to 2018, tried again and UHC denied me again. Moved to Kansas and got Aetna insurance and they approved me!! My surgeon knows my history and he is allowing me to bypass some of the stuff as I have been restricted for 13 years so it’s not completely new to me. I have had a slipped band for over a year gained about 45 pounds of my 136 pounds loss. Ready to get rid of the band pain. I hope I am making the right decision. It’s happening really fast. Starting weight before band in 2006 was 335, lowest weight in 2016 was 155 and my current weight is 195. Could use support if anyone out the has had revision. Thanks and good luck to all the Marchers out there.

I’m preparing for a sleeve to bypass revision due to GERD next Thursday. That aside, I believe stats show that bypass and sleeve patients lose the same average % of excess weight but bypass patients lose it faster. I liked sleeve because it was less intrusive but it clearly didn’t work for me.

Extreme Indigestion 1 year on
elcee replied to MyBo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Reflux is a very common side effect. The usual advice is avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, too much protein , caffeine etc. Don’t eat within a couple of hours of going to bed.Dont drink and eat together, wait at least 20 - 30 minutes. If none of that helps then maybe your Dr will prescribe something that does and if the meds don’t work a revision may be required -
I know we are all different, but I’m curious how much weight you’ve lost. I’m 5-weeks post op revision from vertical silastic ring to bypass. I’ve lost 26 pounds. Weight before pre-op diet: 240 Weight day of surgery: 230 Weight today: 214

Wanting Lap Band Revision to Mini Gastric Bypass
adorkbl replied to Paris79's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had a revision from my crapband to MGB in 09/17. I went the Bariatric Pal Hospital in Tijuana and Dr Illan was my surgeon. My experience was wonderful. Better care than I ever got in the US. My weightloss has stalled some the last few months but that is because I have been slacking on making good food choices and exercising. I haven't gained, but I am on a plateau. I lost just over 100 lbs the first year. It is soooo much better than the crapband. I suffered constantly before. Getting stuck, unable to eat healthy, fills and unfills. What a nightmare! The MGB is exactly what I was hoping the crapband was going to be. I can no longer eat ice cream. It makes me nauseous. And I can eat healthy proteins in moderation. My hunger is pretty much nonexistent. Just that pesky head hunger! Always a work in progress. :) -
I am scheduled for sleeve revision to bypass May 2nd. Who else is having surgery and would like to support each other?
-
I had it originally placed in 2005. It slipped in 2014, had it redone and then it slipped again in 2018. Revised to sleeve on 2/18/2019. Other than the slips no other issues that I knew of.

Duodenal Switch after Gastric Sleeve
disco stu replied to NY1966's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Wish I could be more helpful. The "Duodenal Switch Surgery" forum on this site has been my go-to. It's a mixture of full DS and Sadi\Sips\mini DS'ers and doesn't get that much traffic, but the vets who regularly post here are informative and not Judgemental ( More than once I've gotten unloaded on at other sites by old school Full DS'er who seem genuinely pissed or threatened by Sips\Sadi\mini-DS'ers. Not pleasant.) I'd say something like 40% of the people on this forum are revisions from band or sleeve. I had both; Sips was my "third time is the charm" solution. Coming up on 1 year anniversary, and so far, so good. Regardless, I encourage you to post your questions, even if you're not sure this is "the right place." We'll do our best to get you the answers you need. -
Why is ibuprofen a no no?
polly... replied to polly...'s topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
I have arthritis in many parts of my body that a topical would be great for! Thank you for the diclofenac topical suggestions. Another question I have is related to my 2 knee replacements. I dont think I need revisions, idk but sometimes they hurt really bad like when basic shopping kills me. And, I dont know if the pain can be arthritis. Does anyone have any experience with this type of pain in a TKR? Would a topical help?
