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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
