Adhesions and RnY?

I am ‘in process’ without a surgery date yet. I am a candidate for RNY because of GERD, sugar addiction, comorbidites but I have had three previous abdominal surgeries and my surgeon said adhesions could require me to have a sleeve instead. Did any of you have successful RNY despite having adhesions?

    My surgeon was not concerned that I had had my gallbladder and appendix removed two years prior. My RNY surgery went very smoothly, no problems.

Good morning, Fluffy! You were right, I did just fine I am officially 1 day post-op from gastric bypass. It's still hard for me to believe that I went through with it! I'm excited to begin my road to recovery and renewal! Thank you for your encouragement.

So glad everything went well and you are on the road to recovery...

Best of luck to you and wishing all good things come your way! :)
