Revision... distillization of rny
gabbykittyvsg replied to Nifer72's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
This past Tuesday I had my revision, sleeve to bypass. During the leak test we discovered I have very slow motility of my esophagus. My surgeon thinks this will correct itself as things from my revision heals. -
I have decided to get a revision from a sleeve to gastric bypass. My heartburn is getting worse and i'm gaining weight. I was originally sleeved in 2017. I am ready for this second chance because I have to self pay. I can't believe I have two full-time jobs and I'm still concerned about costs for this procedure. My first job won't cover the procedure and the second contracting job won't either. Since being sleeved, I never got to my goal weight. If you have any recommendations for bariatric surgeons in the Atlanta area, please let me know because my original surgeon has since retired during covid. I've found one surgeon, but he's very pricey at $24,000 and it doesn't include post-op appointments (insurance can cover), labs (insurance can cover), nutritional visits, (not covered by insurance) or supplements. Any feedback is welcomed.

Band to sleeve in one surgery. Who's had it done that way? How long had you had your band? What was your recovery like? Any complications? Regrets?

Sorry to dig up an old post, but I'm about to have a revision - you mentioned weight wasn't going away as much as you'd like - how is it now? How much did the sleeve help (or not) over the band? Thanks! -
I had to have a revision because the port stuck out and was bothering me...and looked funny. The surgeon replaced it with a lower profile and tucked it behind the abdominal muscle to hide it better. I've always had good restriction even with no fills.

What to bring to hospital?
1Day1Life4Now replied to lakegirlmn's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I ended up being in the hospital for 3 nights and 4 days due to some complications but I didn't care what I was wearing. I put my robe on over the hospital gown so I could walk the halls. I brought some lip balm because my lips got very dry. A notebook and pen for writing down notes and information given by medical staff. Due to the meds you may forget a lot of it so its better to write it all down. Your cell phone or Ipad will be great company, and maybe a magazine. Other than that you really don't need much more than your toothbrush and toothpaste, brush, and some lotion for your body. You will be dry from drinking so little. I brought too much stuff to the hospital last time but when I have my revision at the end of the summer I will travel a lot lighter. lol -
What was your "Yep. I'm getting WLS." moment?
KeepCalm replied to GranadoM74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was - 9 years ago when my dad died in 2007 of a massive heart attack at the age of 53 because he had diabetes/severly overweight (close to 400lbs) and he was a heavy smoker... I decided that I didn't want to die at 53 as I was already close to being the same weight as him and I was 23 years younger. I wanted to live to be able to play with my nephew and teach him everything my dad taught me and wouldn't be able to now... So, I decied on the lap band because the sleeve wasn't available to me back then. I had decent success, I lost weight - which was my goal - wasn't a complete success as I didn't lose 50% of my weight but I still lost some. Now, I want to do the revision to the sleeve and continue my weight loss and continue to become healthier, so that I can continue tplay with ALL my nieces and nephews now - three of which my dad never got the chance to meet and I don't want them to miss out on knowing him through me as my sisters had a different type of childhood with him then I did. I was the first and his subsititue boy - so I learned everything - they were the girls -

Yeah Bobbe! Great to hear! The revision has been the best thing and so much easier then the band itself. -
Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies Check In Here!
ellie123 replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you mind sharing what your numbers were at 5 weeks? My doctors office did not really have a weight goal broken out for me like that. Maybe it’s because I’m a revision and it’s snyones guess...! I’m going next week and I plan to ask. -
July 2020 Surgery anyone?
BLUV replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great info. Especially the belly wrap. Hang in there. I had my revision yesterday. I was worried too about being alone, the staff here is great. I am staying a 2nd day. I have been face time my family. You got this! -
Hi, I'm 6dpo from having a revision from RNY to SIPS. My doctor is also Enochs and i had all of my surgeries at Rex Hospital. I'm so happy to find other SIPSers.

VSG AJH, thank you for the support! After a long decision on with my surgeon we decided that it would be a great fit, although he thinks I would do well with the band but long term the sleeve will be less frustrations for me & it won't have all the possible complications associated as I've read about others that have been revised. I am SUPER EXCITED to get sleeved!!!

I'm scheduled to have band removed and revised to sleeve June 12th and I'm going through all these different feelings. Excited. Nervous. Ready. Not ready. Is this normal??? Dr. Clayton Frenzel is my surgeon. -
Here we go again. After a reasonable day, he's off to crazy town again. Wish they would cancel that express bus..lol My lawyer sent me a sample parenting plan, which husband and I had already discussed and mostly agreed on. I tried to be cooperative & took my revisions up to him and he was going along ok then suddenly exploded at this paragraph (in summary): If one parent has to go out of town or be away overnight during their week, the other parent will be contacted first to pick up our daughter and keep her with them during the other parent's absence. The other parent will keep the child until their return or their week starts. If the other parent then agrees or chooses, the child may be placed with a grandparent or trusted family member/friend instead. What I mean by this is that if he has to go out of town for work or whatever and it falls on his week, I will have our daughter, rather than say his mother, another relative or (down the road) a girlfriend. That I as her mother (and vice versa in all of this) have priority over anyone else. He somehow took this as me having a problem with our daughter staying with his mother - which I don't she is simply not her mother and his mom lives about 45 minutes away from us. I tried explaining this but he won't listen to me. He then said we'd have to go to court over this, as he wouldn't agree to it now. I DON"T GET HIM!!! ARGH!!!!! Anyone see a problem with this? Any ideas on what I can do differently? Any peeks into the workings of a crazy man? As always help & support deeply appreciated. Here we go again, another weekend in hell. Boy, I remember a time when I looked forwar to the wekend. I am actually thankful for this outburst as it reminds me that this kind of behavior is why I'm divorcing him, he's unstable and tries to make everything my fault. ps - things rough at work too...I feel like there is almost nowhere I can go to be free.

Any October sleevers?
ribearty replied to beachgirlaz52's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just received verbal ins. co. approval on 9/23. My doctor's office will not schedule with the written approval even though they also received the verbal approval. I hope the letter arrives on 9/25 since that is one week since it was mailed. When I spoke to the doctor's office today, they told me they are scheduling surgeries for the second week of October. I am hoping for a 10/8 surgery. If that date is not available, then I will have to wait until 10/25 due to work obligations. I am a band to sleeve revision surgery. My ins. co. waived the six month diet criteria due to lap band complications. I am very excited and a little nervous even though I know I am making the right decision for me. -
Vertical Sleeve Revision To Rny
Kate27 replied to abbybeep's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi, I am just looking into revision do to metabolic reasons and I am not sure I should. I had the sleeve 11/30/I2. I lost 60 lbs. SW 289 CW 229 I have been stuck this weight for almost a year I go back and forth from 232 down to 228. It is soooooooo frustrating. I have been reading up and it seems I may have a issue???? I eat 1200-1300 calories daily sometimes less and it is mostly low carb less than 50 carbs a day. Infact recently I have been doing 20 carbs a day, I don't work out like I should be I do work out at least 2 times a w aim for 3-4 though. This last week I didn't at all becasue I was sick but I am back in the game now. Anyway, I am at my wits end the hospital where I had my surgery thinks I just need to keep trying the 1200 calorie plan. Obviously my body like where it is at! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So just curious if anyone has tried it for weight loss issues. -
Vertical Sleeve Revision To Rny
abbybeep posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hello. This is my first post over here on RNY Talk- I've been a member on Vertical Sleeve Talk for a few months. I had the sleeve on August 6th and it is has been quite a terrible journey! My surgeon could not figure out why I was vomiting daily and having trouble staying hydrated. I have a new surgeon now and he believes that he will need to do a revision surgery to the RNY. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this type of revision an what it was like? I hear your pouch is super small compared to normal RNY patients... Just looking for any pointers.... -

SLEEVE TO BYPASS REVISION
DENISEMIC replied to MissLaLa05's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A REVISION FROM LAP BAND TO BYPASS 8/27/14, BUT WOKE UP TO FIND DR. CHAND COULDN'T DO IT. HE EMPTIED THE BAND 4/1/14, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT WAS STILL TIGHT AND IT HAD ATTACHED ITSELF TO MY LIVER. THERE WAS ALSO ALOT OF SCAR TISSUE. HE REMOVED THE BAND, DETACHED IT FROM MY LIVER & CUT OUT SCAR TISSUE. IT WAS A 2 HOUR SURGERY. SO I WAS SENT HOME TO RECOVER FOR 3 MONTHS. I KNOW ABOVE ALL ELSE, WE WANT TO BE SAFE AND MY DOCTOR IS EXCELLENT BUT,I WAS SOOOO DISAPPOINTED. I JUST WENT TO SEE HIM 10/14/14 AND HE SAID I SHOULD HAVE A EARLY DEC. 2014 DATE FOR THE BYPASS. I CAN'T WAIT. -
SLEEVE TO BYPASS REVISION
ArtSong replied to MissLaLa05's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Wow it has been a long time for me to post lol but here goes I had the sleeve 9/26/12 and only lost 35 lb from it that was it. Makes it even more depressing that I paid out of pocket for it. I've had a few health issues and had to cut back on my work and I now have Medicaid Medicare I can't remember which one it is they are putting my family on lol. So my question is has anybody had the experience of Medicaid Medicare paying for a sleeve to bypass revision? -
Proudest 2018 moment: worked really hard to lose weight over 2018. In Feb I had a bariatric appointment to discuss possible revision surgery and was 143 kilos / 315 lbs. Worked really hard even with dodgy lapband that either had no effect when too lose or terrible reflux whenever it was tightened and by October got down to 127.5 / 281 lbs for revision surgery. Every pound was hard won I tell ya. So proudest moment was when I got on plane to go to Belgium for my surgery and the seat belt fit without an extender. I was so delighted and happy! First time in decades I hadn't needed to ask for an extender. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Tina 2.0 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I had a revision of a Roun Y on Tue with a hernia repair. The hernia has not slowed my healing a bit. Surgery was Tuesday with an overnight stay. I’m doing light chores, driving and shopping today. My doc keeps us on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and protein drinks. I tried broth, it was ok. But just paid a bit more for Bone Broth… wow! A new favorite! Flavors are wonderful and still on plan. There is never really a great time to take off work for surgery. But you will know the best time for yourself and your family. -
What Led To Revision
lbugher replied to dennydenco's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Another failed lap band here! I am getting revision to RNY tomorrow morning. I am so excited to get this awful thing out of my body. It did NOTHING to curb my hunger or appetite. All it did was make eating healthy food hard, and make eating slider food rewarding. Couldn't get a chicken breast and a cup of broccoli down because it would get stuck in the band but I could eat a greasy cheeseburger and a milkshake with zero issues. I wish the lap band procedure would be banned all together. It's useless at best, and potentially fatal if it's left alone to cause issues. -
Weight loss with revision
Tomo replied to Chelsea0604's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Revision VSG to RNY due to Gerd. From the beginning of the revision process, I've lost 78 lbs in 7 months, and it is much faster & easier than before revision. I'm currently losing steadily 6.5 to 9 lbs a month. I've passed goal and slowly trying to work up to maintenance calories.
