Approved for conversion to bypass!



Recommended Posts

Well I first had the lap band which only lasted under two years because it gave me terrible acid and I was told there was a Rosian so my band is taken out, because I had problems with acid I should've gone to the RN why but my surgeon converted me to the VSG. After the VSG I had terrible issues with eating it took almost 6 months just to get out of mushy stage. And I've had problems ever since. Life has been very hard when it comes to eating I could just literally open my mouth after eating and my food comes out. So if you'd like my advice I think you should take your doctors recommendation and do the RNY. Avoid all the problems that I've had and many of us here

I'm getting ready for my liquid stage after my RNY, and with past experience on Protein powders, Summer better than others and I've heard very good things on the Inspire Protein powder so I can't wait to try that. I'll let you gals know how they taste when I get them next week

Did you have Acid reflex before the sleeve? I want the sleeve but my doctor is being really pushy about me getting the roux en y better. Said because I have GERD the sleeve would make it worse. Curious if this is what happened in your case.

Hi! I had GERD before my sleeve in 2014. Now 2 yrs later, on twice the Gerd meds and now have a esophageal stricture, having RNY on Tuesday.... I didn't want RNY either,but now no other option. I can't eat without getting sick, and that's very little. Only you can decide what is best for you. Just giving you my story... Best of luck with your decision.

I still have the lapband but and going for rny and when I had my EDG my Dr asked why I wasn't thinking of having the sleeve but then after the test came back in and said that with how I look inside I might not have a choice and have to go with the rny due to GERD and irregularities in my z-line. I'm ok with that.

I would not insist on the sleeve. I have had nothing but complications, and my weight loss has stopped after I lost 26 pounds. I wish I had insisted on the RNY!

Hi, our weights and issues are so similar. I also had the sleeve in July 2013. Did pretty well lost 58 pounds but struggling with terrible acid reflux. Was approved for bypass but have chickened out twice. Decided to take this step after much prayer and research. I felt like a failure because the 58 pounds I lost have slowly crept back. I have gained back 36 pounds. I am just tired and devastated from this roller coaster. It really is a journey for life.

Hi all! Today I start my pre-op liquid diet for my surgery on the 26th. I don't like starting over, but I am so glad I got approved and scheduled so I can finally get rid of this reflux. I am a little nervous about the surgery, mainly because I had a LOT of nausea after my sleeve surgery in May. But, then again, I feel like I have a slight advantage because I know a little more about what to expect. I hope we can all keep in touch as we go along...thanks again for your support!

I agree that it would be really nice to have a revision group or something along those lines for sleeve to bypass. Maybe @@Alex Brecher could look into it and see if we could add a category? My surgery is just around the corner, and I can't wait to get relief. Three days to go! Please keep me posted on how everyone is doing!

I initially wanted to have the sleeve but my doctor said that since I already have severe acid reflux that RNY was the only option for me. So RNY it is for me on November 30th. Best wishes and good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
