Has anybody had a revision from sleeve to RnY?

Why did you have it done?

How far postop are you?

Any complications?

How much did you loose with the sleeve?

How much have you lost since the revision?

How do you feel now?

Because im pretty obesit my surgeon said i needed to do the sleeve first and then a year later do the rny just because it would be to complicated with my size right now

I had the sleeve in Feb 2014, I lost from 267 to 198. I had horrible reflux and I gained to 215. On Nov 14, 2016 I had a conversion to the RNY. in the 9 weeks I've lost down to 190 with is about 25 pounds. It has gotten rid of the reflux for the most part and I feel better in that regard. Its more difficult to eat than it was with the sleeve but then it's a more difficult surgery and I'm 3 years older than I was with the sleeve. I'm having good results but I find it more difficult to come up with foods I can eat. I know further out it will get easier but its difficult going through the process.

Mine is going to be about 4 years in between. Was the recovery any different? I only plan on taking a week off. But I can pretty much do what I want at my job so that's not an issue.

I just hope I can feel better number 1. And get the rest of this weight off!

Was the process the same nutrition classes etc

I'm curious. How is it possible to go from a sleeve to a RNY when there is no remnant stomach after a sleeve? Does someone have a diagram of what a RNY looks like post-sleeve?

I am considering the same thing you did for the same reason. I see this post is from 2017. I'd love an update about GERD/reflux and also weight loss. How much did you lose after the revision, and how are you doing at maintaining? Any regain? Thank you in advance!

I'm curious if you did the sleeve to RNY revision. If so, when? I had it done the day after Thanksgiving 2021. Reflux was gone immediately. I've lost 60 lbs. I lost it pretty quickly, I'm maintaining for over a month now. I was a little freaked out having problems with stopping the weight loss. I did the same thing with sleeve surgery in 2010. I can eat often, but very little at a time. I struggle with meat, an ounce is safe, maybe 1.25 oz, after that, it will end up 'sitting' between my ribs and 9 times out of 10 I'll have to throw up to get relief. Surgery was in Nov, then after a sonogram and endoscopy I had my gallbladder removed in March. (They also discovered a very large marginal ulcer. (What the heck is that?) I had to take a liquid medication 3xs a day and they did another endoscopy 6 weeks later. Ulcer went from very large to large. Six weeks later another endoscopy showed it was healed. Now I'm just focusing on trying to not lose more weight. Gaining 10 lbs would be fine. I'd like to stop there and maintain just under 150. How realistic is this, maintaining from now on. Sadly, sweets and some fried meats (catfish, chicken fried steak) are easy to keep down, mashed potatoes too. I have to weigh meat, and sometimes then it still gets to me. What's up with that? Any advice, insight etc would be greatly appreciated. Share you story with me if you've had the sleeve to bypass revision.
