Sleeve to RNY?



Recommended Posts

Hello, this is my first post so I'm not sure if it goes here, and partial rant but I need ideas or if anyone has had similar experiences.

I was sleeved Feb 17 of this year. So far I've lost over 115 pounds, however I've hit an unexpected problem the last **6** weeks! When I eat food, I get a pain anywhere between my throat and sternum. The pain will continue for 1-2 hours after eating, and will happen with anything, whether it be a Protein shake or a regular meal. It has gotten to the point where I'm slightly scared/nervous to eat because each time the food regurtitates itself back into my throat as if something is stuck somewhere.

Prior to this happening I was hitting all my macros, and doing it consistantly. Each day tracking foods with myfitnesspal, and making sure I stay within my surgical teams nutrition guidelines. However at this point I'm eating about 1 meal a day, and only taking in roughly 500 calories (I understand this is a problem) So at this point I"m worried about this slowing/stalling my weight loss, on top of issues with taking in so few calories.

As far as what has happened so far: I use to take prilosec daily, when this started happening I had an upper GI which came back showing everything was looking great. Then I started having pain in my side, so they did an ultrasound and found gallstones, which resulted in my gallbladder being taken out. Yet from this pain still exists. At this point I had an endoscopy which showed everything looked normal. I'm now taking Protonix instead of prilosec as prescribed by my surgeon.

This leads us to now where I'm waiting to do another upper GI, and then there might be talk of doing a revision to a RNY.

As this is affecting my daily life, I'm wondering if anyone has had anything similar? How long it takes to go from the stage I'm at to a sleeve revision? And if there are any other steps besides possibly being prescribed Protonix+Prilosec daily?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a stricture but you said they didn't find anything. I would get a second opinion just to be sure.

I am betting more have this too. Did you google this? I agree on the second opinion. No hiatal hernia found? What is the length of time since now and the endoscopy?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
