Converting Sleeve to GB RNY

Tomorrow I go in for my corrective surgery, Sleeve to RNY, due to severe acid reflux. Any tips? This is the first time I have ever done a bowel prep... hopefully it won't be too bad.....still waiting!

I had the same revision done just over 3 months ago. No regrets at all.

My bowel prep didn’t go very well either. I told the dr in advance that miralax would not completely clean me out. He said it was fine since he only needed intestines and not colon cleaned out.

surgery went fine. Try not to worry too much. You got this!

I'm scheduled for the same on 4/6/20. How is the recovery coming along?

I’m having this same revision done, it was scheduled for 4/1/20, but has been postponed. Have u lost more weight after getting the bypass compared to the sleeve?

I had my revision to bypass three weeks ago but did not have to do any bowel prep. In fact, I was told to eat a carb rich meal for dinner the night before surgery (which I did). Surgery went well and other than gas pain on the first day post-op, haven’t had any problems since. (Ahhh...that’s not true. Now that I’m soft foods constipation has become an issue, but that’s another topic...)
