Short and sweet, I had the gastric sleeve on Jan 9^th 2013. Lost all my weight, but below my goal and can’t keep anything down. Tummy hurts and has heart burn a LOT. Surgeon wants to do a GI scoop tomorrow, and possible do a Bypass revision….I am so sad…. I did not want the bypass, I was set on sleeve have had sleeve and been sick.....Need your thoughts, what do you think about your Bypass>>

Yes, I did have some reflux before my sleeve and the doctor and I discussed it. I have been on omeprazole since the surgery. He wants me to take 40 mg daily but 20 usually is enough. Reflux has not been a big problem for me. Goldygirl said exactly what I have been feeling...I am ready to get all these surgeries behind me and get on with my life.

Well I figured I would post an update, I have been officially converted from a sleeve to a bypass on Oct 31. The surgery went well however had to stay an extra night due to pain, but am doing great. I can say that it is the first time in a year that I have not had heartburn to deal with. It is so nice not to get heartburn when drinking water or taking my vitamins. I think that this may have been the right choice but we will defiantly see once I introduce real food again. I think that has been the hardest part that I have to go back to square one with liquid diet and progress through the stages but I am happy it is over with.

Philip s so glad all went well with surgery! I am a week post op now and still on liquid diet but will be updated on puréed foods tomorrow and can't wait to see how my tummy reacts! I have not had any regrets since having this done! Good luck to you!
