Finally on home stretch for revision to bypass

[bajankat 41]

Good afternoon, I've had quite an interesting 18 months after being sleeved. I developed horrible GERD and I have a hernia. I'm finally scheduled for revision after fighting for so long with my insurance company (since August) to be approved. I'm excited but scared due to other surgical complications last year. My date is Oct 29th and I've started the liquid diet today. So far so good.

Good luck!!! I never had a sleeve, but love my RNY!

Congratulations?

When I had my RNY I had a hernia. I think they claimed I had GERD, but I honestly don't remember. They also took out my gaul bladder.

Everything went swimmingly. Other than they couldn't get to all my gaul bladder, so I had to have a drain for a week or so.

I understand the fear of complications. I won't share my litany of horror stories here.

You'll be fine.
