Had the revision done at 7 30 am this morning weighing in at 180 my original goal weight. The first 12 hours were horrible. This was a very painful surgery for me and I don't know if it was because they also took the hernia I had. ( I believe they said they took it and not fixed it but I am still on the drugs. ) I have been given morphine to start with then they switched me to dillata because the morphine wasn't cutting it. I am back on liquid hydro now. I wasn't able to urinate either for the first several hours and I am still having a hard time with it. I have been crying through most of the day. Pain, anxiety and lack of sleep have been my companions as they are still not letting visitors in. I cant tell if I still have GERD . The gas pain has been in my neck and shoulders it sucks. I did 3 laps around the ward at 1 am to see if it would help because I thought I had read it helps with the gas. Well I will keep updating my progress here. Good night

I am weighing in at 165 this morning. I am 3 months and 3 days post op VSG to RNY. My weight seems pretty stable in the 160s which is nice. I always felt like I was struggling to keep it in the 160s with the VSG. I feel normal now like before surgery.

I am still having a little burning in the mornings before I take my PPI and they are wanting me to start switching the PPI off with something else. I am awful and cant remember if it was pepcid or zantac.. I have not been rescheduled yet for an EGD but am hoping they do that at my next post op visit in 3 months. I need peace of mind that this worked and I am healing from the erosive esophagitis grade D.

I had another episode where I overate and had to leave a dinner. UGH. I was sick for around 2 hours afterwards. I didnt think I had eaten that much but I was wrong !! I still have to be mindful of what I eat and how much. Anyone who has had the bypass know exactly what I am talking about, it is awful dumping or overeating !!

I am home, showered, and taking it easy. I am going to be on full liquids for 2 weeks. I am going to go slow as far as food and progression because I have read where quite a few by passers have problems with different stuff in the beginning. Hope that I can still drink premiere protein shakes and will be finding out within the hour.
Also I can already feel differences in the 2 surgeries. The sleeve had restriction from the start and I could not even drink but a few sips. This by pass is not like that at all I can drink with no problems. I just taking it slow though

Hi Tracyringo...

I had the revisio as well. It seems I can drink fluids without a problem. I feel concern. Thought I should be able to feel some discomfort if I get full...but I don't. Should i ask my surgeon? Any thoughts?

The liquids just flow right on through so you wont feel anything as far as that goes. I didnt feel anything for the first few weeks. I didnt feel anything until I added firm protein and even then its not the same but I have gotten use to it. I have also read where people having this bypass as a virgin surgery dont feel anything. Who knew, right? Its crazy. I did say something to the surgeon while in the hospital about it and this is normal for bypass. Good luck to you !!

What are the requirements for revision

If you have GERD and take a PPI. I dont know of other reasons. I do know some people are able to get a revision for weight gain, but you even have to be more diligent if you are doing it for weight loss. It is not like your original surgery where you had lots of restriction and the weight came off. Personally I liked the sleeve better I had way more restriction with it. I rarely feel anything with this bypass.

I’m sorry you had such a hard time! I just had my revision as well on the 8/25 and also had my hiatel hernia repaired. I also noticed that I have more pain after this surgery in relation to my original surgery!

Yes it was awful !!! You should feel much better in 4 to 6 weeks. It is different that is for sure. You will have to let me know what you think about it when you start eating. Talk about messing with my head. I was a mess but so much better now that some time has passed.

Good to know and will surely keep you posted!

Please do.

Well it happened !!! I woke up and got on the scale this morning and it read 160.8 !!!! I have officially lost 150 POUNDS !! I have considered going for 155 so I can say I lost half of my body weight. I started at 311.2 the first day of my liquid diet. I am very excited about this milestone.

I got first appointment this Thursday. Would anyone tell me how many I have to go till my surgery day? Thanks you?

It took me 6 months from the time my PCP filled out the paper work until the day of surgery. This may be different where you are . Good luck to you !!
