Mine is Tuesday the 16th!

Any word on your psych evaluation?

Scheduled for mine April 11th

I’m in Walnut Creek!!

Where are you located? Feel free to message me!

I hope you’re doing well....can’t wait to hear how everything turned out. I had a sleeve 3 years ago, and will be having a revision to the rny in the coming months. I’d love to be buddies! Message me! 😉

Well....saw the surgeon yesterday. Was hoping for a surgery date so I can plan, but sadly it’s still up in the air. Maybe March, maybe April. It’s kind of making me crazy. I’m definitely not in a hurry, I am just a planner and need to know things. I did find out that I can’t use the Tespo like I had hoped. Taking pills sucks so I was hoping for an easier alternative. Not so much. So I went onto Bariatric Advantage and ordered some stuff to try. Any recommendations for great bariatric products?

I’d love to connect with others in the area! There’s a support group for our hospital that meets once a month, however, since it’s a military hospital, we’re all pretty spread out. If anyone finds him, tell him to message me! Thanks!

Best wishes to everyone! I don’t have a date yet, but I’ll definitely post when I do!

I live in the east bay...wondering if anyone is near me?

I am no longer losing weight....so I guess maintenance. That’s super disappointing to hear! I was really hoping there would be restriction with the new surgery. I’d definitely like to lose more weight. My surgeon told me I’d probably lose somewhere between 15-50lbs. I’m hoping I can squeeze more out of it than that.

Hi everyone! I was originally sleeved in March of 2016. I had an annoying burping thing pretty much from the beginning, but I lost about 90lbs in 6 months...and have held pretty steady since. Then the extreme reflux started! Fast forward to yesterday....I spoke with my surgeon and it has been decided that I need to be revised to an rny. Definitely not happy about it, but I’ve been taking 3 nexium a day and still having reflux and regurgitation. The newest issue appears to be an ulcer. This is really the last thing I wanted to do, but I’m very worried about the damage that’s being done to my esophagus. I have developed a raspy voice and scratchy throat, so I know it’s becoming a problem. It looks like I’ll have surgery either in March or April....I’ll probably know in a week or so. Anyone else here a revision from VSG to RNY??

I've been looking for info as well!! So glad I found this thread!! I'll be having my revision in a few months.

I was originally sleeved on March 3, 2016, but I've been having some issues. I saw my surgeon recently for my one year appointment, and he said that the only way to fix my problems is to revise me from a VSG to an RNY. I'm a little freaked out honestly! I avoided that surgery to begin with because it scared me, now it looks like if I want to lead a normal life I need to do this. Of course I started reading stuff online, and I'm even more freaked out now! People talking about all the issues they've had, even talking about having reversals because things were so bad! Could anyone that's had a VSG to RNY please post your experience...either on here, or message me. I couldn't find a thread about this revision...just the band to RNY. Hoping someone out there has some info for me. Thanks!!

I am in Walnut Creek. I had my VSG on March 3, 2016...but it looks like I need a revision to a RNY. I'll be having it done at Travis AFB again of course. I told my surgeon that my sleeve is his handy work, and I don't want anyone else messing around in there! I am pretty hesitant about the RNY, and I'd like to talk to people that have done it. Please message me if you'd like to chat, or email me at: aschuttpelz@gmail.com Thanks!!
