Duodenal Switch does not get the dumping syndrome. I had a RNY in 2001, revision this last June to Duodenal Switch . I know what Dumping syndrome feels like and how it was easy to get used to. Only things I have found that the Duodenal Switch gets is the limitation of food intake and the pain that accompanies it when eating too much as well as the bowl movement issues. Hope this helps.

It's been a rough journey for you so far Bastian, it's not unexpected that after all the complications you've had and the revision surgery you will be feeling crap. Two surgeries which have radically altered your physiology have knocked you around a lot, it is just your body's way of saying that you need to rest and recoup. I can relate to you wanting to get on with it, but your body just isn't ready for that yet, give the poor thing a chance to catch up lol! From what I have read and researched it is going to be trial and error for quite some time with what you can not tolerate/makes you feel good/makes you feel crap etc you have to re-learn all over again what your new GI tract can take. Be kind to yourself and take it very easy until you do feel better. Hugs and best wishes hun.

Here is the side by side of 3 days post revision vs 2wks post revision. Tomorrow I'm going to track down that black tank top so I can wear the same shirt in every progress picture. Both shirts are an XL and the jeans on the right are a size smaller than what I've been wearing.

Sleeve revision to bypass for GERD and Hiatal Hernia
Roserie replied to jskittles7694's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have Kaiser. I had the sleeve in 2013. I've had severe reflux for the last 2yrs. They had also found a hiatal hernia recently. From the discovery of the hernia to surgery date it took me about 6mths to get a revision. I didn't have any issue getting insurance to approve it for medical reasons. -

* HELP HOW many days in hospital???
Roserie replied to New&Improved's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had VSG to RNY revision. I went in on a Wednesday. Surgery lasted 5hrs and I went home Friday night. They told me I could stay one more day if I felt like i needed it but I chose to go home. -
Ok, I know, I know, totally HUGE clothes. But no tengo deneiro (sp?) for new right now. Today was surgery day and I wanted super comfy and warm cuz the hospitals are always freezing. This is my official GOAL #3 day! I revised my goal #3 weight to be my original 130lbs. Cuz guess what? I DID it! I FINALLY made a for reals major end goal!!!! I can honestly say and give myself permission to be super proud of not only my progress and journey, but of seeing a weight loss goal through to desitination. It feels like...victory. Or napalm. Not quite sure. It's like, once I relaxed INTO the reality that I was in maintenance and wasn't trying to lose anymore, my body said, "Psych, bi*ch! JK. We're still gonna get ya to the original destination!" So I honestly don't see a lot of diff in this 130lb Goal #3 pic and the few previous ones. I am sure y'all will say its due to outfit selection and being too big.

Don't get a lapband. I had one for three years and it was miserable. I revised to a duodenal switch and lost 80 pounds. Don't waste your money on a band.

GASTRIC BYPASS REVISE FROM GASTRIC SLEEVE
eladams2015 replied to nomorefattypatty's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a revision to bypass from sleeve for severe reflux issues. I wish I had started out with the bypass in the first place. It is like night and day difference to not have that constant reflux happening. -
Finally, my surgery date is October 15th. I have to get a few tests done over because they were due again due to timing but finally my revision is going to get done. I'm praying for no more acid reflux. Keep you posted! Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

September 2019 🍂🍁
TX2NC replied to Repeatingthoughts's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All, Revision from band to bypass was this past Friday 9/13. I was in the hospital until Sunday mid morning. Overall I feel ok. Main issue has been pain and bloating at the top of my stomach. Like right below my sternum. I’ve never really pushed out there much except when I was pregnant and right now I’m looking about 8 months along. Lol🤣😂 Fortunately my incisions haven’t hurt much and liquids are going down very well with no nausea or tummy trouble. Wednesday’s are my usual weigh on days, but given how bloated I am, I’m going to wait a few more days, just so I can try and get a somewhat close to actual starting weight. Hope everyone is doing well!! -
Sleeve revision to bypass for GERD and Hiatal Hernia
AZhiker replied to jskittles7694's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Before my surgery, I studied the insurance coverage for bariatric procedures, and downloaded all the forms so I could study them so more. I have BCBS TN and revision is absolutely covered, Just be sure to look at everything real carefully so both you and your surgeon know what the requirements are. -
Sleeve revision to bypass for GERD and Hiatal Hernia
jskittles7694 posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had the sleeve March 2014 & was good for a couple years, but in 2016 was hospitalized with severe inflammation in my stomach, a large hiatal hernia and GERD. I previously had no history of this prior to surgery. I was prescribed 80mg of omerzapole, carafate and zofran. Been suffering with horrible reflux ever since. In February my pcp added 300mg of zantac. Still no relief and the Bariatric surgeon is now recommending revision to the bypass. Has anyone experienced this? Did the insurance approve the revision for medical reasons? I have BCBS Massachusetts. Thanks in advance -
Medicare coverage for revision
ProudGrammy replied to WOLVESFAN1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
@WOLVESFAN1 The providers words might be correct - but I am a firm believer in getting "official/important" things in general in writing. Being successful with the sleeve is great, now at a great weight.☺️ i know many ins. companies cover revisions - you might have to work harder with medicare? and since you are no longer overweight - don't know about the coverage Lots of OP revise from sleeve to another WLS due to reflux - hopefully your situation will work out too good luck bud kathy -
