Vertical Sleeve Revision To Rny

[abbybeep 53]

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... Just looking for any pointers....

I'm getting my ent Wednesday and yes a tiny pouch.... but with following the eating plan and working out the success ratio is amazing, good luck

Thanks. I wish my sleeve would have worked. I need to be converted because my sleeve is most likely twisted and so it's a challenge to get anything through, even liquid! I've lost 65lbs so far, and I'm about 45lbs from my goal. I'm sure rny will keep the weight loss up. Good luck to you!

abby wishing you the best, sounds like you have been through a bunch. Hopefully the RNY will resolve these issues. But I am sure there are still challenges ahead with the very tiny pouch. But eating and not vomiting will be so nice even eating smaller amounts might feel like a blessing, as long as it stays down. Sending you gentle hugs and the most positive of thoughts and prayers.
