Well I am 2 years 3 months since my surgery. Over the last 6 months I have slowly started to gain weight back. I am have horrible GERD issues and have not been able to get off the meds that we thought I would. Frustrating.

I have talked to my surgeon and we are going to do the conversation from VGS to RNY. Has anyone else done this? Results?

Thanks!

How much did you lose before the regain started? Are you doing the RNY because of the GERD issue, the regain or both?

Which meds were you not able to drop? I know that is a personal question, so don't feel obligated to answer. I was just curious because I've recently realized that I might never be able to drop my blood pressure and thyroid meds no matter how much weight I lose. For me, high blood pressure and hypothyroidism is a CORRELATION of my obesity, not a CAUSATION.

I will probably still have high blood pressure and hypothyroidism when I am no longer obese seeing how my symptoms have not improved even after losing 75 pounds. It's slightly aggravating, but I'm still glad I had surgery. Good luck on your upgrade to bypass. I hope it gives you the results you are seeking.
