Gastric bypass stoma tightening



Recommended Posts

I had original Bypass in March 2003. Only lost 50lbs. I then opted for the “experimental Stomypx” in 2010 lost 12 lbs. so I just had a Haitian hernia repair on 6/9/21. Along with “tightening my stretched stoma of 4 cm to making it 1 cm. My pouch maintained it size since 2013! Since my stoma opening was to big it bypassed my stomach. It has now caused GERD, hernia… well you know…
My question to all the revised ppl is was the weight loss slower? My surgeon said I will loos60% of my body w excess body weight. Did you lose that? Or less or more? I do feel restriction… but still pretty reluctant I will ever reach an ideal healthy weight.
I went in at 228 6/9
I’m now at 215 4 weeks post r revision

I haven't had revision, but yes, I've heard/read that the weight loss is slower with revisions than it is original surgery.

You have lost 13 pounds in a month! On average with dieting people lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. You have gone beyond that point already. Be encouraged and continue to follow your program. You are inspiring! Please keep posting!

I've lost much more than expected, but it has not been fast weight loss. A couple pounds a month for the past 6 months (more in the beginning months after surgery). My surgeon was very please with my overall weight loss when I saw him at 8 months post-op. The revision has been very, very different from sleeve surgery. I'm hoping that the slower weight loss will result in long term success.

I got a lapband in 09 and lost 87 lbs down to 167, was never able to keep Fluid in the band because of an issue with my esophagus. Had it removed and revised in 2015 to RNY because of precessure on the esophagus from the empty band, I couldn't eat anything healthy--only slider foods. I was up to 178 and lost ..... NOTHING! Dr. warned that it would be slow, but I had no restriction, I have never had dumping and I maintained there until I starting dieting and working out to lose. Down to 163, was thrilled and then PANDEMIC, not working and up to 182, having crazy stomach pains. Found I have an ulcer, treating with PPI hope it works because it hurts to drink Water.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
