Sleeve to bypass weight loss concern
MsBrown76 replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had bypass 11/21/19 and maintained my weight for seven years after my sleeve. I’ve lost a total of 25lbs. My doctor is expecting me to lose up to 40lbs total with the revision which was due to GERD and hiatal hernia. He told me be prepared to lose 30-40lbs overall when I went in for the initial consultation. -
So Being post op almost 6 years they pump you full of air so that pain will be there for a few days, walking will help with it. When you have a reversal or a revision it hurts a bit more I felt bad for a week, my wife went through the same procedure and had a ton of pain in the first 48. If you are home and cannot control call the doctor and ask, what the issue can be, I had a kink in the sleeve and it hurt big time. It may hurt now but it is so worth it. 6 years post op I am still loosing and take your vitamins when you are able too, Anemia is a horrible side effect.

Gastric sleeve revision surgery to Gastric bypass
Ninabnina77 posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi everyone, I am curious to know if anyone has had a revision from gastric sleeve to the gastric bypass in Mexico? If yes, who did your surgery and would you recommend them to others? Thanks.. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Lap band to gastric bypass
JRT Mom replied to angievasser42@gmail.com's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I was lucky that my surgeon will do the revision in one surgery. It was nice only having one hospitalization, recovery, etc. My lap band was over 10 years old so I'm not sure the age of the band is a factor as much as the scar tissue is and once it forms it might not get worse the longer it's there. Good luck, y'all! However you do it, it is TOTALLY worth getting that useless band and port out. I can lay on my stomach without the port sticking into me without pain now! -
Lap Band Slipped... Not sure what to do next
FluffyChix replied to SpaceCowboy74's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm sorry for your troubles! I'd talk to your bari team for sure and get their recs. @elcee is totes right! If it were me, I'd also do the band to bypass route as quickly as possible. Gaunt face happens. It comes with rapid weight loss. But after a year it kinda evens out and you no longer look drawn. Try not to listen to people's opinions and just do what you KNOW must be done. Now for this...the quote. This raises a HUGE red flag to me. Why? cuz it tells me you are emotionally really tied to your food. I'd sure suggest a bariatric counselor so you can work through the headwork this time through. I get wanting a revision just so you can have food without feeling crap after and vomiting. Perfectly natural!!! ((hugs)). But this isn't magic bean surgery. It isn't everything in tiny portions cuz you WILL end up having more room in your tool and you will also learn to eat around it. In my opinion there are very few people who are successful in keeping it off long term without changing their head. I know of some people here who are successful at that, but they HAVE still changed some of the things that they do... -
Happy New Year I just had my lapband removed 2days post op. glad to see that nightmare gone! (banded in 08) I was supposed to get a revision to gastric bypass but too much scar tissue said the surgeon... now I must wait patiently for the 3-5 month for the bypass...ugh! I was so prepared and bought so many items I would need..well guess I’ll heed it sometime in the not so far future...

Revision Surgery Scheduled
Mark.olypenn replied to Mark.olypenn's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Traceyringo, My bypass is scheduled Feb 27 in WA. For months, we were sure I would revise to a gastric sleeve. My first appointment my surgeon recommended gastric bypass, but we were set on a sleeve. It wasn't until my pre-op appointment for my band removal, 3 months later, with the surgeon, that he explained the detailed risks of a sleeve given my history. Realizing I might have the same issues or worst with GERDS and acid reflux, we agreed with his recommendation to do a bypass. This site has helped me better understand what I will face with bypass. Honestly, I am comfortable with the decision and looking forward to the surgery. -
❤My Revision Story❤
Tracyringo replied to GreenTealael's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
How are you doing? Are you glad you had the revision done now? I just got back from the Dr. office and they want to revise me to RNY due to GERD and erosive esophagitis. I am having mixed emotions about this. The surgery is scheduled for Feb 26th. -

I just got home from my Dr. appointment and am being revised to bypass due to Gerd and erosive esophagitis on Feb 26th. To be quite honest I don't know what I think about this, but he said it would not get better without it. UGH -
Revision if you already have a gastric bypass?
lovinglv replied to Polishanita1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I’m 2008 I had a lapband installed. I have had many problems from that over the few years. they can revise that to a different surgery, to Gastric bypass or sleeve. I choose gastric bypass. they were unable to do that at this time and just removed my lapband. hope that helps.. -
Revision if you already have a gastric bypass?
Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 replied to Polishanita1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Can you give us a bit more info? Revision to what, do you mean? To undo the RNY? To a duodenal switch? -
Banded in March 2001, revision to MGB in May 2016. Hernia is back and since that part of the reflux symptoms and surgeons want to do another revision. I guess I need to schedule it, huh? Weight wise I'm an unspectacular normal weight. Still can't make up my mind about plastics but my skin is bothering me more and more. I'm looking into the Avelar technique (would have to go to Austria to get it but since I'm most likely going to be a self-pay anyway...) but with a revision looming over my head I have other problems at the moment.

Lap band to gastric bypass
Mark.olypenn replied to angievasser42@gmail.com's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I was banded in 2005 and suffered many of the same issues. My revision will be in two steps. My band was removed about 3 weeks ago, my gastric bypass is scheduled for Feb 27. The band removal went very well. My post surgery pain was primarily in my shoulder from the CO2 used in laparoscopic surgery. All was manageable with Tylenol. All the best on your journey. -
Revision if you already have a gastric bypass?
catwoman7 replied to Polishanita1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
unless there's something mechanically wrong with your bypass, it's sort of pointless to revise it. Other than the DS, it's the strongest surgery out there at the moment. If the problem is behavioral, revising it to something else isn't going to help you long term - you have to tackle whatever the problem is, or you're eventually going to have the same issue with the next surgery. revising from RNY to DS is a complicated and supposedly risky surgery that only a handful of surgeons are qualified to do. There are no other surgeries I know of that you can revise to from RNY other than DS. -

Revision if you already have a gastric bypass?
lovinglv replied to Polishanita1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi! Happy New Year! I was banded in 08. I have had problems with throwing up and slight slippage that showed in a upper Gi. The other test was an Endoscopy that showed mild esophaguses... so insurance approved a revision to gastric bypass. I just got home from the hospital and so bummed that the surgeon decided it would be best to do the bypass in 3 months....😩 I feel great, no problems with removal.. -

Travelling on an 18 hr flight 6 weeks post op- anyone done it?
WOLVESFAN1 replied to Nicky6's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had revision from sleeve to RNY on 12/17/19. I flew back home on the 23rd. I was either in the air or waiting in the airport for over 7 hours. I had no problems what so ever. I was exhausted by the time we actually got home. It was a long day. My biggest day of pain was the actual day of surgery. I had the surgery around 9AM and was up and walking later that afternoon. I was lucky in that I really had no gas pains and only took pain meds the first day. I was inpatient for 2 days and then discharged to a nearby hotel until we flew back home. I'm not a big fan of pain meds and I told my surgeon no need to write a prescription. I only took Tylenol as I needed it. I haven't taken anything since Christmas day. I'm not in any pain, but just feel uncomfortable in the tummy area. Good news is no more Reflux. I'm allowed pureed food now and everything has been great with the exception of sugar free Popsicle and refried beans. The fat free refried beans were the pits. They basically got stuck in my chest and hours after eating, I still feel uncomfortable. The doctor said that I would experience things like that and when I do I need to back away from that food and attempt to try it at a later date. Good luck on your procedure. I'm sure you are going to do well! -

10 years post-op - weight gain question
elcee replied to c566's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It might be time to consider a revision. It has been discovered that bands have a limited lifespan and that there are very few that continue doing what they were designed to do after approx 10 years. They also do a lot of unseen damage. -

I was revised on 1 surgery. Life with an RNY is so much easier than with a band. I don’t get stuck and I can eatlots of good healthy foods. I just have to be really careful with sugar but that is a good thing -

You will love the bypass! With me, when I got full with my band the feeling as 'Yuck! I'm gonna hurl!" And half the time I did slime up some food consistently. Now that my band is out and I have a bypass (I was lucky and was able to get it done in one surgery) the feeling of fullness is the comfortable one I am used to prior to getting my band. I am also Medicare and I'm a bit nervous. The first bariatric office tried to tell me if you have had one weight loss surgery Medicare wouldn't pay for a second, even if they didn't pay for the first one! So I suffered with my band 6 months longer than I had to, and when I went to a different surgeon the new office said "That's crazy" and guaranteed Medicare would pay for the revision as long as you meet their criteria. I got the surgery 5 weeks ago, and I haven't called the hospital to see if Medicare picked up the tab yet...we'll see...
