VSG to RNY Revision. Anyone?

[deletedprofile123 34]

It's such a relief finding people who can relate to what I am going through! I was sleeved August 2012. I'm currently being considered for RNY revision due to GERD and several other reasons. I'm also anxious but excited. Very happy for those of you who are now GERD-free!

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to come on here and update you all. I'm a little over a month post op and doing great! In the first week or so after surgery I had a little nausea but it was easily managed with the medication my surgeon gave me.

In the last couple of weeks I've had two random incidents after eating eggs. I think it's because I wasn't paying attention and ate too fast but I felt this pressure pain in my chest and immediately knew I needed to throw up because I could feel the food stuck in my esophagus. Once all the eggs came out I felt fine and so far those are the only issues I've had.

My surgeon wanted me to take protonix for a month after surgery, I think that's their standard for all WLS patients and Friday was my last day taking it. I'm still in shock every morning when I wake up without pain in my chest from the reflux. Now that I'm no longer taking the reflux medication I actually feel like it's really gone. I'm so happy!

I hope you all are doing really well on you journey, whether pre or post op. :-)

I just had my revision from vsg to bypass yesterday. I don't remember the pain after my sleeve being like this. I am so sore and it hurts to move. Did you experience worst pain than vsg?
