Next Thursday the 29th I will have a revision surgery. It has been 5 years since my sleeve. I am having it due to complications from another surgery that included vagus nerve damage, in addition to severe reflux and reoccurring hiatal hernia. Just needed somewhere to share to help with anxiety. Since the surgery that caused the nerve damage I am a lot more anxious this time.

I've obviously had some regain so the revision will help me get back. I have struggled with nutrition since the nerve damage. My blood counts are low and I go in for iron infusion at the hospital currently. I'm really hoping that the surgery won't make it worse!

I just did this early June. I was around 5.5 years out from sleeve. I didn’t have any issues with the sleeve and my RnY revision has been equally smooth. I prefer the restriction of the RnY vs the Sleeve and my loss has been more significant percentage wise vs my sleeve. Getting used to the vitamins has been a struggle I never took them with the sleeve nor did I need them.

I am going in for revision from sleeve to rny on 9/12 due to hernia and gerd.

I will be following this thread and your progress

good luck and thanks for sharing!

You look beautiful.. Stay positive

I’m right there with ya. I’m 3.5 years out from my sleeve and have my revision to RNY scheduled for 10/4, due to reflux and regain (HW 246, LW 186, CW 233). I’m nervous and excited too. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Surgery is today!!!

Looking forward to hearing how it went for you. I do hope that you are recovering well.

Home from the hospital. I'm fairly sore but it hasn't been too bad. Knowing what to expect as far as needing to walk for the gas pain and small sips to drink helped. Trying to get comfortable to rest has been the hardest part.

Congrats! This is your new chapter.
