Sleeve revision to bypass
BariatricBarb replied to Colorchic's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
My revision was deemed "medically necessary" because of damage in my esophagus from reflux. Saw the surgeon and was sceduled for surgery within a week. I have Kaiser insurance, so its all in the same facility. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using BariatricPal mobile app -
5 weeks post revision and no longer overweight!
nerua43 replied to elcee's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Do you mind me asking what was your revision. I had the sleeve a year ago next month and I've only lost 50 lbs despite doing everything right. It's so frustrating. I lost 50 lbs on my own. I feel like a failure [emoji21] now and am not sure if I'll qualify for a revision. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Right. I may have to have a revision to the bypass. I do know I've lost inches which is great but I would like to see more lbs. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi [emoji112] did you have the sleeve? I will be at a year next month and the same thing has happened to me. Only about 50 lbs lost. I feel like such a failure [emoji21] despite doing everything right. I go back to see my doctor because my nurse said sometimes a revision has to be done when the sleeve is not successful. I lost almost 50 lbs on my own prior to surgery. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

How do sleevers get RNY?
New&Improved replied to mousecat88's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yeah I found one surgeon who does the DS or the revised BPD DS and that was 500 miles away. He said that is reserved for the Super morbidly OBESE or people who failed with previous surgerys. So yeah not very common anymore very severe malabsorption issues -

5 weeks post revision and no longer overweight!
elcee posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So excited. Put my stats into a BMI calculator and realised I'm no longer overweight. Yay. Still got a bit more to lose as my middle is still too thick to be healthy but being in the healthy weight range again feels amazing! -
Who's 4 months post op? I want stats!
ummyasmin replied to dndshepherd's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Me, I'm a few days over four months (Oct 16). I speak in kilos so I'll try and translate: Before pre-op diet I was 134 kg / 295 lbs Surgery date: 127.5 / 281 lbs Today: 105.1 / 231 lbs That's just shy of 30 kilos or 64 lbs which I'm thrilled with, especially coz mine was revision surgery. (My pre-lapband highest weight was 153.5 kgs / 338 lbs). Boy do I feel different these days! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app -

Smooth Sailing for Anyone?
xoxococojay replied to Everything's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had two trouble free surgeries. I think you’ll be just fine but everyone does adjust differently. The first time, i had the sleeve and i was totally fine. Ready to go back to work by day 5. I wouldn’t say i was in much pain or anything. I just felt a lot of gas pressure sitting on my chest. But that naturally went away by walking a ton the first few days. I had bad reflux so they did a revision 2 yrs later and honestly that felt like a nap. Except now i can eat like anyone else who has never had surgery. You can’t control how much weight you lose. I was fine with being a size 8. I accidentally made it down to a 4 and i’m still constantly losing weight. I’m sure your dr and nutritionist team gave you dietary guidelines or phases to follow. Stick to that and find exercises you like that you can stick to and you’ll literally be just fine. I would say if you’re fortunate enough to not have any complications or other health issues, then your surgery won’t be a big deal. Just remember it is a tool, so it all depends on how you use it. Good luck. I’m sure you will be fine. Also, fyi- the reason why you don’t see tons of complication free success stories is because we’re to busy enjoying our new lives to post all the time. -

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) or Gastric Sleeve?
BariatricBarb replied to Born in Missouri's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had the sleeve in 2015 and am now scheduled for revision due to reflux. My surgeon said they are doing revisions every day because the reflux after sleeve is such a big problem. He also said that they are now doing swallow tests before doing the sleeve. Damage in the esophagus leads to cell changes which can then cause cancer. I asked what the chances are of this not getting better and was told that there is no chance of 5he reflux getting better. The damage to the valve that goes into the stomach will not get better on its own. I've heard really good things about the RnY revision stopping the reflux immediately. I wish I'd have done this to begin with. Not sure about a procedure as new as the one above. Not enough info on long term side effects or success.

Post Op Question How Much Did You Lose In The Initial 6 Months After Surgery?
New&Improved replied to Mrs.D's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Bypass- better weight loss. Better long term success. One operation which seems everyone is being revised to RNY anyway! Malabsorption to help absorb less calories!! -
My surgery is March 11. Mine is not quite a revision. I had lap band 2009, had it removed Oct 2018. Now I'm going for bypass. I know some people are successful on sleeve, but in my mind it's a physical variation of the lap band. No thanks.

How’d you Choose? Sleeve v.s. Bypass?
New&Improved replied to NotActive1234's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay I've been doing research for months now everything I've read points to RNY BYPASS. 1. Reflux is better 2. Higher percentage weight loss in first year 3. Helps fix more co morbidities. 4. Malabsorption helps lose weight by absorb less calories. 5. So many people revised from sleeve to bypass. 6. Smaller pouch less food. 7. Hunger hormone is better with bypass so full quicker. 8. Some people are fixed of diabetes type2 very quick after surgery due to better metabolism. There's so much information available via Google but the bypass is proved to be better long term success and if you've got 100lbs or more to lose. You only want to have one operation not two even if sleeve do become bypass it's not the same as a Virgin bypass! Goodluck!! -
I'm 153cm which is 5foot! My journey is different to yours though as I had a band first , had that removed and revised to RNY a month ago
