I'm in the same situation as you are. I'm having a revision February 11th.

How are you doing with your by pass? Do you like it ?

I've been doing well with the bypass. Do I like it? Yeah, I guess. It's has totally cured my GERD!

Has it been an easier recovery the 2nd time around? Are you trying to keep yourself from losing the weight this time around ? It appears I am going to have to do the revision and I don't want to do it because of GERD . I had EGD done yesterday and I have esophageal erosion that is progressing rather quickly.

The recovery must MUCH easier this time. I've lost 12 pounds in the first month and am doing everything I can to stop further loss. My esophagus was in terrible shape too. I was once step away from being pre-cancerous.

I was a grade C but yesterday it was a D !! They are calling me to schedule the revision tomorrow. Glad that you are doing well. Have you had an EGD done since revision to know if it is helping your esophagus. Do you still have reflux?

My reflux is gone! I was taken off protonix yesterday one month post-op. I haven't had an EGD done yet but will soon.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
