Hey guys, I'll be going next Thursday for a revision to gastric bypass due to reflux, and I'm also having my gallbladder removed.

Has anyone had the revision from Sleeve to bypass for reflux? How was it afterwards? Did you have to start your diet stages all over again? And also even though it's not for a weight loss reason, will you still lose weight ?

I had "Stomach Stapling" over thirty years ago so my RNY was classed as revisionist surgery. My surgeon checked absolutely everything before my surgery. I had H. pylori bacteria and had that fixed. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy with tests to make sure there was no lactose intolerance or any other food allergies. I saw a cardiologist Dietitian and psychologist. He left nothing to chance but when he got in I had so many adhesions my liver and spleen were fused together and both fused to my stomach. He spent two and a half hours just separating organs! When he got through he found I had a hiatus hernia and repaired that and removed all the damaged part of the actual stomach as well as the bypass. 6.5 hours of surgery. I had this on Aug 10th so I am still having sort of mashed food. So far I have had no problems with any of the food, no reflux, very little pain and as yet no dumping! Other than some constipation which is very new for me there have been no issues and I have lost 33kg since the pre-op diet so about 6 weeks.
