Sleeve revision to gastric bypass tomorrow

Hello all...I am scheduled for a gastric sleeve revision to gastric bypass tomorrow because of extreme gerd/reflux and every other option has not worked. I was sleeved originally December 13, 2012, have lost 58.6 pounds and have had several complications/procedures done since then.

I'm looking for someone else who's had a revision to a bypass and not by choice but by lack of other options.

<p>Wow, Niki just found and read this entire thread this morning. I just want to add my thoughts and prayers to everyone who is thinking about you and hoping (praying) that you get not only answers but some relief soon. I'm so sorry that you have been through all of this, and really glad you have the support of your family and friends. (And Lisa I'm sending you the same prayers, hoping you get some answers to your struggles as well.)</p>

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughts...I really appreciate it! I'm hoping that Tuesday will bring some answers and relief! I will keep you posted!

Thinking of you Niki. Praying for good results and answers on Tuesday.

Surgery tomorrow morning. Had adrenal stimulation test this morning but no results yet. I guess I have to wait and find out if my endo doctor ordered them for my surgeon already. I'm nervous and anxious...more this time than ever before. There's something about that word "exploratory" surgery that I just can't shake. :(. Talk to you all in the other side...surgery is at 10 am.

Wishing you well niki..

I am going to be sending you positive thoughts in the morning. Deep cleansing breaths......

Great news all! They found a kink In my small intestine and fixed it! Pain right now from surgery but no more pain after that! Yay me!!! I'm so excited that they finally found what was wrong with me and repaired it!!!

On the flip side, still don't know about the Addison's disease but I have another appt with the endo doctor next week so I will find out! My bp is really low here in the hospital 84/42...they gave me steroids and a bolus to help with that.

So a night here in the hospital and we'll go from here! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!

Amazing! Still crossing fingers for the Addison's. Glad they found something they could fix!

Niki!!! Amazing news!! I am so happy for you!! Oh my goodness, this is so wonderful. You deserve a smooth, restful recovery. Rest well!

So glad they found your issue! You are a true trooper and a brave girl to go through all of this! I hope you have a pain free and healthy future ahead of you.
