Good morning all! was hoping someone could share their story for a sleeve revision to RNY. I am still waiting on my approval and surgery date, but want to start mentally preparing. my revision is due to reflux and regain Did you have to follow a pre op diet for the revision? is the weight loss slower after a revision? how much can I expect to lose a month? I lost on average 7 lbs monthly with sleeve. was the recovery and post op pain a lot different than the sleeve or about the same? how long was hospital stay? for my sleeve I only stayed over night any other information would greatly be appreciated! thanks in advance!

I will be going for a revision. on my case status on my health insurance website it say anticipated admission. does that mean I am approved? also has a date of 6/19/17

Just got the call yesterday my revision to RNY has been approved! Im super excited, my coordinator called and gave me a surgery date of July 17th!

Has anyone given their sleeve a nickname and what the reason behind it? I've dubbed mine Sleevester Stallone after Sylvester Stallone LOL... my sleeve doesnt always know whats going on and just when you think its down for the count it kicks a$$ and takes names...(cue the Rocky music) I'm so happy with my sleeve!

thankfully I don't have a pre op diet this time. they pushed my surgery by a day to july 18th , my dr wants to perform the surgery with his partner. I think im going to put myself on a slight pre op diet though. im going for medical clearance on july5th and my pre admission testing is july 10th

my surgery got pushed a day to july 18th.

july 17th here

my revision is due to reflux issues and regain I am nearly 4 years out from the sleeve. 3 weeks now until my revision!

Thanks so much! revision is due to non stop horrible reflux. I also have gained back 40 of the 107 lbs I lost

July 17th here as well! I am a revision from sleeve to RNY

united health care community plan now, when I had my sleeve originally I was under magnacare. Im using the same surgeon as my sleeve

good luck to you! shouldn't take too long to get the approval, mine came in about 3 weeks. keep me posted

good luck to you! im also a sleever (11-12-13) and will be having a revision to RNY on 7-17-17 due to acid. I lost 107lbs with the sleeve, got pregnant right after hitting goal. daughter is almost 2 now and I have no restriction and have put on nearly 50 lbs. excited for the bypass and also not looking forward to those horrid gas pains!

Hi all! was sleeved back on 11-12-13. Sw 257lbs, Reached goal of 150 at 14 months out (January 2015)....got pregnant literally less than a week later. Baby girl is almost 2 now. Since my surgery I have suffered from reflux and its gotten continually worse to the point I feel like my inside are literally on fire. I also have no restriction whatsoever since my pregnancy and have managed to get back up to 185. I had an esophagram done may 5th and my surgeon wants to revise me to RNY sometime this month. They have already submitted to my insurance and I am just waiting for my approval. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. so happy to get relief from the reflux and get back on track . Im wondering what to expect with a revision. Will I lose a lot more weight?

Good morning everyone just looking for a little input here, I am 3 years out from sleeve also 15 months post pregnancy. In the beginning after my sleeve I could get away with taking a Prilosec every few days then it became that I needed to take it every day. during my pregnancy I had awful heartburn and would even wake up choking on acid. now it has gotten even worse, I literally feel like the lining of my stomach is burning. I have burning pain in my shoulder like someone is putting a cigarette out on me also with chest pains . Sometimes the burning is so much that I feel like my body is about to burst into flames. I did contact my surgeon and he tried having me double up on Prilosec.which did not work. in fact nothing over the counter works, even If I have not eat anything for the day and still have the worst heartburn ever. does this sound like GERD or something else? I am scheduled to have an egd with bravo study on January 13th.i have also asked the gastroenterologist if he could check the condition of my sleeve as I have not had any restriction since the 4th month during my pregnancy. I went from 257 to 150 in a year. during the pregnancy I got up to 192 and right now I am sitting on about 176. the only thing that seems to give my stomach a bit of relief is when I do eat so I find myself grazing a lot now. I am hoping for a revision.

You can look up the 5 day pouch reset basically you go on the liquids again go rest your pouch and shrink it again if you feel it has gotten bigger Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App ive done the pouch test 3 times already, and tried just all Protein shakes / liquids for 2 weeks. still sitting in the same boat, with no restriction. 3years out now

i think I posted on the other thread as well. I had good restriction up until middle of second trimester. Havent had ANY (or rarely felt) restriction since then. I track using mfp, I even tried 2 rounds of pouch test, pure liquids and the atkins diet to help get the restriction back and nothing still.

I gained 42 lbs (went from 150 to 192) and had my daughter 9-28-2015, shes over a year now and im struggling with pretty much no restriction at all. current weight is 168

Same boat here as well. my daughter is about to turn 1 this month. I was 150 pre pregnancy gained 42 lbs and she was 6.5 lbs (go figure) , I am still hovering near 166 a year post partum. I feel hardly and restriction at all!

hi stephh! i just had my baby 9-28-15. i started at 257 and was reached my goal of 150 when i was 14months out, then two weeks later i found out i was pregnant. i too was only taking in about 700-800 pre pregnancy. around 13 weeks pregnant i started getting insanely hungry, literally every two hours. for me it really didn't ease up until i was about 32weeks. my dr wanted me to take in about 1800 calories a day i ended up putting on 42lbs in total. i lost 15lbs after my c section taking me from 192 to 177. i have been stuck there for the past two minths unfortunately, the scale just doesn't want to move for me. keep taking in as much Protein as you can. keep high protein Snacks with you if you're getting hungry often! congratulations on your pregnancy, you can pm me if any questions Thank you so much for responding!!!!!! I feel like I'm in the exact same scenario you were. I feel so much better knowing that someone else is hungry too. I was afraid of it being head hunger. Congratulations on your new baby! How was your pregnancy besides being hungry? Had you been pregnant before? Was it different? Sorry, I have SO many questions!!! Your weight gain doesn't seem bad to me. It seems like a manageable weight and will probably come off. I already have argued with my Dr about gaining weight... He said I could aim for 10-20 pounds because I'm at the top end of my healthy weight range. So far, I've stayed steady, but I'm not very far along. i sent you some photos in pm

He said I could aim for 10-20 pounds because I'm at the top end of my healthy weight range. So far, I've stayed steady, but I'm not very far along. this was my 3rd pregnancy and csection. my first two were before my sleeve and i was already over 200lbs wih them. i never got sick with my preop pregnancies, but this one i did. i felt like i had two modes i was either hungry or.nauseated lol. they kept telling me during my sonos that the baby was small she was the smallest of.my children but was still a healthy 6.5lbs with no complications. during the first trimester i put on 4lbs. i put most of the weight on in the second trimester and honestly it took me a bit.of time to come to terms with that scale going up. i.worked really hard to get down to 150. which is why im so frustrated with the scale not.moving now. is this you first? when are you due?
