Sleeve to rny?



Recommended Posts

I have had constant pain since my sleeve. About a year after I had the sleeve they removed my gallbladder to solve the pain and nausea vomiting. It never stopped. I have gone thru meds, er visits, and "possible gastroparesis". Nothing has solved it. I gave up on my original surgeon and found a new one. First meeting he is telling me that it's possible nerve damage or a tightened point in the stomach. More likely nerve damage. He says there are 2 possible fixes: switch to bypass or a pyloric valve repair? Anyone done either?

I am headed for some new X-rays and back to see him in December. But one more question, if it does need surgery to repair, anyone have luck getting the surgery pushed up? I met my insurance deductible for this year and it would be great to get this repair in this year if possible. Do doctors even care about things like that?

Thanks!

Ugh, sorry to hear you are having a hard time of it. My wife had her gallbladder removed and she still gets pain due to scarring, so that is not uncommon. I hope you find a good way through everything.

The resolve will be the rny. My original surgeon should have never recommended the sleeve with my acid reflux. It only made it worse. It is the base of all the problems

      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! 😞
