Gastric Sleeve to Mini Bypass



Recommended Posts

Hello

I am not sure if the revision to a mini gastric bypass will work but I am 100% committed to making it work. I got cocky after slimming down and got off track. Regretful to say the least.

I found out that the procedure does not call for a reduction of the stomach because the sleeve already did that. Doing research now to look deeper into the physiological effects of the MGB and the difference between my GSS. If anyone can share their experience with the same surgery path I'd appreciate it.

Thank you

MJ

Hello..

Revision to mini gastric bypass will work when you are committed to not repeating what went wrong in the past. Everyone makes mistakes and that is what makes us human. Be smarter next time for not everyone gets a second chance at life.

Don't confuse yourself with data from the internet which is never specific to your body or case. The doctor would do a endoscopy or gastric swallow test to know the current position / status of your abdomen before deciding the revisional surgery method.

I went through the same set of surgeries and did not bother to read what was published on the internet and listened to only the doctor and went in to the whole experience blindly. Knowing too much can be intimidating at times and when in doubt, your surgeon or team of doctors are the best place to ask your doubts.

Cheers..

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
