Hello my name is James, I had my operation bypass last Tuesday, So exactly a week ago, It was a revision from the sleeve gastrectomy to RNY bypass. My problem is I don't feel any different and I'm still able to eat a fair bit the good thing is I have no pain at all from day one. I'm very concerned that it may not work for me. Can anyone tell me of this similar experiences and if I am just worrying about something that should have felt like it was when I had the sleeve done

Just out of curiosity' date=' are you able to eat and drink at the same time? Do you experience any acid or indigestion? That is a big factor for me because I am so accustomed to eating fast and pushing things down with Water or milk. I am petrified about having this revisional surgery.[/quote']

You can't eat and drink st the same time. You need to wait thirty minutes before drinking. If u r a revision shouldn't u already follow those rules?

Yes I can eat and drink, you just shouldn't....it allows you to eat more and defeats the purpose of doing this. If I'm out with others I will occasionally have a few swallows of water, if doesn't harm me or cause pain, I just avoid it because of the reason mentioned above. (I will drink a little when I eat Peanut Butter toast!!!! That stuff is like glue!). Are you a revision from Bang or sleeve???? I'm a former band and 5 months in am so much happier and more comfortable with my RNY then I ever was with that damn band!!! It's so worth it!!!

No I had a VBG which is not performed now. I was always able to eat and drink at the same time. It would just get stuck and eventually pass.

After your RNY revision, you will definitely want to follow your doctor's instructions regarding no fluids for at least 30 minutes before and after eating (some doctors may recommend a longer period). There are some very good reasons for that - do a search for the topic "Why no water with meals?" on the forum and you'll find lots of good information including a great video.
