Good Evening! I had a follow up with my surgeon today from a EGD in July. He's scheduling me for a revision to bypass and hiatal hernia repair asap . I'm scared! Then following that surgery maybe a few months later he'll schedule another surgery to repair another hernia with a mesh. I'm going thru it right now. how many of yall had complete relief from reflux after getting a revision? Have you had any other complications with bypass? any regrets? Of course I'm doing the research on it but I'm afraid of it, that's why I didn't get it to begin with. I can't wait to enjoy wls..I haven't reaped any benefits of it yet.
my stats:
5'4"
HW 261
SW 249
CW 226
GW 170 or just to be healthy at this point.
Sleeved 4/9/19 had multiple EGD with dilations due to vomiting and multiple setbacks and developed horrible acid reflux.

I am having revision due to gurd, gastritis, esophagitis and not losing enough weight.

Yes, I'm on track for bypass sometime in November. I have my endoscopy still to do next week. However, I have had 5-cections, a tubal reversal, and a complete hysterectomy, so that's a total of 7 abdominal surgeries. I am so worried about lesions/scar tissue in small intestines making the bypass a problem. Anyone else have any of these issues that has any input? Id greatly appreciate any information.

Omg, these are my exact same concerns. I have had several fibroid removal surgeries, 2 C- sections, a hysterectomy last year where there were an enormous amount of scar tissue, not to mention the exploratory surgery to find the fibrous so yes my abdomen is tired and probably scarred up which concerns me terribly

I pray we both don't have any problems during out surgery. I'll let you know as soon as I have my surgery date scheduled and how it goes. Please keep updated on you well. Thanks for sharing.
