Sorry for the delay in my reply, with the holidays I let time get away from me. I has my revision this past April. It has been wonderful! All of the reflux issues are gone and the bypass isn’t anything scary yo deal with at all. Weight loss has been steady and I am right where I want to be, comfortably.

That is wonderful news! Things are going well with me. Weight loss has slowed down, but is still happening. I was advanced through the stages quickly and I am eating pretty much as I was before now. I will be 2 months out on the 10th. Best thing is that I have not had any incidences of reflux!!!! I hope that everything else goes quickly for you!

I do feel fuller than before, but not too much difference in fluid intake or such. I had no problems with fluid intake in hospital to the point they were telling me to slow down and sip. I learned a new way to swallow to not upset the sleeve and it is second nature. This doesn't feel any different. I hope that your insurance issues get worked out as the freedom from reflux is AMAZING! Keep me posted.

All and all it went wonderful! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. The first week was rough dealing with the drain, but once it was removed all was good. As for reflux, I haven't had it at all since waking up from surgery!!!! It is so freeing, I hadn't realized how much it was dragging me down. Doc wants me stay on the Nexium 20mg instead of 40mg for one year to help with healing, but I haven't had any issues (even when I forget for a couple of hours). As for weight loss, well this one is getting me. I only had 30lbs to get to bare minimum for me. I am halfway there now. I am getting a little worried about that. My doctor has advanced me to puréed a week earlier than he normally does and then soft this week which is also a week early. Let's hope it slows because as it stands now I am down a pant size a week.

I am here freaking out totally. My revision is Monday! Ready to get rid of this reflux though!

Revision is in 2 days. To say I am not nervous is an understatement! No pre-op diet other than clear liquids and view prep tomorrow. I really hope this works!

I am so glad to hear you are doing well. My revision is scheduled for Monday the 10th. I am still freaking out a little!

@ren0318 I am so glad that you are moving along on this! Wow, that is a lot of acid. Good luck on the revision process.

When I had my sleeve revision in 2014, I had surgery on Monday and felt well enough to return to my desk job on Wednesday.

I am an absolute nervous wreck. I am not looking forward to the food progression again and all the emotional stuff. We are currently having trouble with my teenager and I am completely stressed about that. I am ready to get this over with and no more heartburn!

I am about 2 hours south of you in Southern Illinois. We love the St. Charles area!

@CurvyCakes you will be a day after me on this revision. I am glad that your doctor gave you some idea of what to expect weight loss wise and that eases my mind a bit. I have at MAX 20lbs to lose before I start looking sickly. Keep in touch on how you are feeling with your journey!

I can totally believe this. Everyone now wants to be a victim of something. Yes I have had complications, but I face them head on knowing it is just a bump on the road to the main goal!

I will be having sleeve to bypass on April 10 due to excessive acid reflux. Of course, I am going for the trifecta because I had a band to begin with and have already been revised once. Insurance has already approved me, but info on this is so hard to find regarding changes and weight loss expectations

Thanks for your encouragement! Your spot is where I am right now. I was nervous about the bypass, but am getting less so as I get closer. I just need this acid gone!
