I'm looking for anyone who has had a revision or someone who has had a sleeve and lives in Lancaster pa. My surgery will be on March 28th,2016. I'm excited and the good thing is that I know what to expect after wards because I had the gastric bypass in2003. I'm scared because there are serious complications that could arise BUT I believe that everything happens for a reason and somehow I'm going to help others who have give through a gastric bypass reversal and creation of a gastric sleeve. I would love to hear some support. Blessings Sent from my LGLS660 using the BariatricPal App

I had my initial RYGB in September of 2003. My highest weight I was around 385. In the course of the first year I went down to 200 lbs. I was so excited and I thought I had found the magic pill and that I would keep losing. I platitude and then got pregnant with my son. The years later I had my daughter. For the next few years I went up and down between 240-275. I began to have complications and in and out of hospitals. I had a perforated ulcer, a hernia and small revisions to my pouch. Trimming down helped a little then I had more ulcers. Always in the same spot where the main connection to the pouch. Finally after a lengthy FMLA I lost my job and stayed immobile because of the pain of ulcers. My surgeon and I decided that the option of revision would be my best way to get back into a healthy more productive quality of life. My surgery is set for March 28,2016. The surgery will reverse the gastric bypass and then the get will create the gastric sleeve and remove any scarring and my stomach remains. I will post more after the surgery.
