Sleeve to gastric bypass revision help



Recommended Posts

Hi! I go in for my revision tomorrow morning at 9am. Has anyone had a revision? How much did you lose or have you lost so far? I had to get a revision because of GERD :/ I’m terrified you guys.

Hi Ashley

I had a band revision to bypass. I had open surgery, not larproscopic, with incision from breastbone to navel and my rib cage cracked apart to deal with band damage, scarring. I knew this, when I went in.

And I have NO regrets. No gerd, quick easy recovery, Eating is fine but just small quantities, no real food/Eating drive. I love it so far - I am 6 weeks in...

Best wishes to you - I was so nervous just before I nearly backed out, but it has been excellent.......

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
