VSG to RNY still have GERD

[Tracyringo 503]

So it been almost 9 months since my revision to RNY from VSG. I had erosive esophagitis D and as of this past Dec it has gone down to an A. I still take Dexilant 60 mg and as I sit here typing I am on fire !!! Just wondering if anyone else is still going through this after being revised. I take the strongest PPI available that I am aware of but I shouldnt have to be on this PPI after the revision but here I am !

Did you revise to RNY because of the GERD ?

I had my revision on Dec 14th. At first I thought it had definitely worked but the past few weeks the reflux is back with a vengeance. I’m at a loss as to why it’s still happening too. 🙄

Hey All,

Interesting thread. I have constant heartburn and had a VSG in 2016. If you had it to do over would you still get the RNY revision? I am wondering if its worth it if you get the heartburn anyway and are still constantly taking the PPI's?

I would still get the revision because I had erosive esophagitis D. It has gone down to an A, so I shouldnt have to worry about getting cancer. I take 60mg Dexilant everyday plus carafate

So I had same experience. I thought I was cured the fist month or so and then bam !! I think we were so swollen from the surgeries. We didnt feel it until healed, at least that is what I feel happened with me.

What was your last EGD like before the revision?

I read where the roux limb may be too short in an article online, but I have no idea and none of it makes sense.

My EDG showed a good amount of reflux which was from my sleeve. Had the bravo probe placed to measure the reflux for 2 days. Showed severe reflux. My decision to go ahead with the surgery or take omperazol for the rest of my life. Sorry your going through this too, it’s a total bummer.
