goodnight

Wow...you've been thru a lot! I'm having a conversion from sleeve to bypass in May due to reflux and a narrowing in my mid-stomach (dilation didn't work). In addition, I have an unspecified motility disorder which they feel may be from my esophageal muscles getting too tired from having to deal with the reflux. There is a question of which came first "the chicken or the egg." Feels like food gets stuck and I need to vomit. I'm on way too much medication. Anyway, I consulted with several Dr's and all say the same thing - that I need a conversion. I am already at a normal weight and cannot really afford to lose anymore but they tell me not to worry...that my body will lose at first but go back to my present weight. I'm afraid to have it done, but the situation is not tolerable for the rest of my life. I had my sleeve done 4 yrs ago and keep thinking I'll get better but I've finally accepted that it won't. I pray I won't have any complications with the bypass. I'm sorry you are having complications and have to deal with them after having problems with your sleeve...double whammy! I hope you are getting better and better everyday. I would love to get updates on how you are coming along. Godspeed.

I'm considering a revision sleeve to RNY for the same reason, severe reflux, with Dr Janey Pratt. I see her listed as your surgeon in your stats yet you say Dr Meireles did both? You don't seem happy with the revision, why? I don't have anymore weight to lose and am afraid I'll lose too much with the revision. Just trying to get as much info as I can to make an informed decision. Not many people with our situation to talk to out there. So are you having trouble with the RNY? Sorry for so many questions but would appreciate any info you think might be helpful.
