I am having revision surgery on 4/20. I currently was very successful with vsg. I unfortunately had a ton of issues with reflux, gastroparesis, and esophageal dismotility which is why revision to rny. All approved with insurance and ready to go. I have pre op this Wednesday. I just have this terrible feeling something will go wrong. I have been stuck with all these issues and now I am getting it fixed. I guess I just can't believe it? I have also read all the rny horror stories I can find..

Anyone else freaking out? Anyone want a freak out buddy?

Thinking of you and hope it goes smoothly (all three of you!!) I'm nearly 2 weeks post op from RNY and each day is better than the last.

It is normal to feel nervous.Just take a few deep breaths and try to relax.I had my revision from sleeve to bypass in Nov 2016.I am doing great.I was so nervous too,but well worth it to get rid of my reflux issues and have my Hiatal Hernia repaired again.feel so much better and have lost another 44 lbs so far.You will lose slower but if you need to lose weight you will.All without acid reflux.

After my paper work was submitted it was denied the first time,because insurance thought it was for weight loss.My Dr.did a Peer to Peer with insurance to make them understand it was due to acid reflux. Didn't take very long at all. Good luck at getting approved.

      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! 😞
