RNY Revision issue anyone?



Recommended Posts

I had a revision done Aug 13th in Atlanta, GA. At my 2 wk visit, I was told I lost 11 lbs. Now, I'm realistic and understand it will not be the same as first time around where I lost 21 lbs the first week and 120 lbs by my 7th month. But, I'm a lot concerned bc I don't feel the same as I did on my first surgery. I don't have that feeling of fullness and my hunger has not gone away. I can gulp a bottle of Water down in just minutes. I am afraid that the only revision done was to the opening and not so much to the pouch. I have changed my eating habits, no breads, rice, sugars, sodas.. and I am excercising yet the scale has not budged in a week. Has anyone else had an issue w revision? Is there any way i can ask for proof that what I asked for was properly done?

What were you revised from?

I had the Roux en Y (RNY)gastric bypass in 2004. I had great success w that one. Lost a ton of weight. I weighed 315 date of surgery. My lowest weight was about 170. I gained 60 within this past year :( I just had the revision done Aug 13 and so far I have lost 15 :/

15 since august 15th seems pretty good to me. I was revised from band to bypass on june 12th and have lost 26 since. I would expect slower results with a revision at least that's what I was told. Good luck with everything! :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
