My doctor is recommended I have a bypass revision done (currently 5 years put on my sleeve) as I have severe GERD and weight gain. For those that have had this done….. which bypass did they do? Full ? Mini? Or?
and did it help? Thanks in advance.

I just had this done on the 28th of June. I had a full. I was told to stay on the PPI (at a way lower dose than I was on) for 4 weeks and then stop taking them. I can tell you, that at a week out and on half the dose I was on before, I already see a big difference. I couldn't have ever cut the PPI down for even a day.

Full broad revision. Helped tremendously. No more burning throat (silent reflux), and I never wake up in the middle of the night with acid burning up to my nose.

I had a full RNY revision from VSG due to reflux and a hiatal hernia and it really helped me! I wish I had just had the RNY from the start. So happy I had the revision!
