Gastric sleeve to bypass revision



Recommended Posts

Hey there folks. My name is Will. I'm 35 years old and In 2015 I had the gastric bypass sleeve. I have not lost the weight with that that I wanted to or hoped to. I have contacted a surgeon in my TN area and am going to the pre surgery seminar tomorrow night. Then I have my appt with the head nurse and surgeon on Friday. I'm hoping that he will say I can qualify for the bypass. I'm not happy with my current situation. I'm having stomache pain and discomfort and a lot of diarrhea. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Will

Hi from NC,

i had lap band to RNY bypass 14 days ago. I'm here if you have any questions. I had lots of complications with my lap band and vomited daily. The RNY bypass is way different so far. No issues or complications yet.

Hey there. I had the sleeve in 2015. I'm wanting the bypass or any other procedure they recommend. I've been having some slight pain in my stomach and lots of diarrhea which didn't happen at first. I don't know what to do and I'm kinda lost for words on what to do. My surgery seminar is tomorrow night then
I meet with the surgeon or his asst on Friday. Any advice would be appreciated. I don't know if this is even the thing for me to do

Do you know why your experiencing stomach pain. Do you have a lot of weight to lose. Requirements were similar to when I had lap band in 2011.

I have a lot of weight to loose in my eyes. I don't know for sure what's causing the pain. I'm sure they'll have to do a endoscopy again. I fee like it is the only option for me tho if he says it's an option

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
