Revision from sleeve to the RNY

I'm still suffering so bad with GERD and my diabetes is way out of CONTROL. Is there anyone that could give me any advice as to how get start the process of getting a revision surgery I can't take this anymore.

Go see your surgeon. I had a EDG and barium swallow. I had additional complications discovered with those tests

Have you talked to your surgeon? I would guess that would be the first step.

I have talked to my surgeon he had tried me on every GERD med imaginable but is trying to insist that is my diet when it's not. I've been to my PCP he is sending me for the EDG but still no barium swallow. My doctors have really dropped the ball on this one. I'm also curious to know what my sleeve look like it hasn't been checked since the leak test was done the day after my surgery 15 months ago. This is so frustrating.

I think you are starting in right place. I am glad I didn't wait longer. My symptoms are worse everyday. It is still a process due to my insurance requirements. I started in April and hope to have revision surgery by late Sept, early Oct.

I sure hope so I'm miserable and my surgeon is a real Asshole to say the least. I've explored the option of trying to find a new surgeon to see if he can help me
