Gastric Sleeve after 50 (Senior Sleevers)
Lynda486 replied to Lainie-lou's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had a sleeve done when I was 33 and now I am 54 and having a revision Sept 16th. I am a little nervous because of my age but looking forward to all the positive physical changes that are coming! -
⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔 *TMI TIME YAY* 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔 For my revision surgery, my BF pretty much stayed with me non stop to help me recover. Prior to that I cleaned my refrigerator thoroughly. It was completely orderly. Because I wasn't always cooking he usually ordered out and my refrigerator was wrecked/stuff to the gills with things no one would have eaten for leftovers. B-Side Questions: How often do you clean out your refrigerator/pantry? Anyone in particular that ruins it?

My revision from sleeve to gastric bypass was May 23, 2019. I am still having to battle my addiction to sugar. It’s a tool and sometimes were able to cheat but I have to learn how to stop emotionally eating and kick the sugar out the door.

The same thing has happened to me. I was thinking about getting the revision surgery. I'd rather not go under the knife again. I know that you can do the diet from the first month to shrink your stomach again. Im m not sure how effective it is though.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7327101/Weight-loss-jab-dubbed-exciting-obesity-treatment-helps-patients-lose-10lbs-month.html Thoughts? Yes, I know the DailyMail is not exactly prime news source... but just for the basic overview. Maybe would be good for those with some weight regain later on post-op or in lieu of revision. I wonder how long the effects last... and clearly it doesn't have the "training benefits" of surgery. I also don't like how DailyMail put dumping syndrome as a disadvantage... I consider that an advantage and is an excellent negative reinforcement tool for those that get it.

New food intolerances after revision?
GreenTealael replied to GingerSlim's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Oh no! please dont hurt me Kale 😭 I would be devastated I'm newly revised as well and I had a few shaky moments over the past week with foods i was fine with prior. I cannot have cream based soups anymore. It makes me too quesy. Luckily i dont need them. I know think any super fatty food that isn't a nut may bother me. Also the smell of foods are heightened as well. Otherwise ive been taking it *somewhat* slowly and eating the foods im used to. I'm curious about vegetables/leafy greens as those are my loves. -
New food intolerances after revision?
GingerSlim posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Just curious- for those of you who had revision from VSG to RNY, are there any foods you ate all the time with the sleeve that you can no longer tolerate after your revision to RNY (or vice versa)? I’m still on full liquids, but I really had no problems with any foods (except kale) after the sleeve. I go back to work when I’m on puréed and afraid of eating something that will make me sick at work. -
Sirena2020, I am revising because I have a fistula between my sleeve and residual stomach and the reflux too. I will let you know how it goes Thank-you!
-
@catwoman7 No, I was told the sleeve was not for those suffering from it however I never really had it therefore I didn’t think it would be a problem. I’m still healing and I hope it won’t last. @Lynda486 Are you revising because of the acid reflux? Gosh I hope I don’t have to resort to that. Please keep me updated on your progress and let me know if it cures the acid reflux. Good luck with your surgery!

I have my revision in September and cant wait for the acid reflux/gerd to go away! Happy for you!

I had a revision surgery from Lapband to Sleeve on August 2nd. So I am three days out. The pain is bearable for the most part. I am having a really intense sharp pain that runs across my lower chest under my rib cage. It last for a few seconds and then goes away. This happens maybe every 5 minutes or so. Is this normal?
-
I agree- see someone else. I had GERD and Barrett's esophagitis with a Barrett's polyp. My surgeon did not even give a 2nd thought to doing gastric bypass because of the history. He told me that anyone with bad GERD before surgery could have it worse after a sleeve, and in those cases, bypass is the better option. My GERD is gone now. If you have GERD now, you may end up with a revision to bypass down the road, and IMHO, why not just get the bypass now and be done with it.

I had GERD pre-surgery. No way would I get the sleeve. GERD doesn't get worse for *everyone* who gets the sleeve, but it does for a sizable minority. There are several people on bariatric internet forums who've revised to bypass because of it. I would definitely get the bypass. I suspect this surgeon is just more familiar with the sleeve - and it's also a quicker, easier surgery, so less complicated for him. I'd be really tempted to get a second opinion. You're the one who'll have to leave with the potential GERD problem, not him.

Good Morning! I am having a revision to bypass in Sept. I still have reflux and can't wait to be off medication for it. I am hoping it will be gone after surgery. By the way, way back when I had it done no one told me the sleeve would cause acid reflux either! Good luck!!

lap band removal - how did you heal?
amyshattuck replied to loridee24's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Had mine removed on 4/30, I’ll be getting the revision to sleeve on Tuesday. I was out of the hospital same day and back to work a few days later. Four days off total. -

Fight, fight, fight and fight
GingerSlim replied to SeattleLady's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Keep fighting! I had the same GERD/hernia issues since I was sleeved 5 years ago. Just had revision on 7/23 and have not had one second of heartburn/reflux. Make sure your surgeon does endoscopy. Meeting with nutritionist & behavioral will speed the process along too. I saw both of them before even scheduling surgery and I didn’t need to go through any of the classes again. Best of luck!!! We are rooting for you!!! -
I’m about 10 days post op revision VSG to RNY and everything that hits my stomach burns or makes me cramp. I have pain that radiates up into my left shoulder (not gas or a leak- I had an upper GI this past week) Not long after I have major diarrhea. My surgeon put me on carafate + the protonix I was already taking. He said my stomach was super inflamed. Do you think that sounds like symptoms of an ulcer and how long after treatment did it take for you all to feel normal???? Also, what foods/liquids were you able to take in? I need some reassurance here.

Still in the game! After revision i was counseled that i may lose a little more so im STILL trying to maintain in the 150s. Im 151 lbs currently and about 19 days post op. Not too rapid so I'm satisfied.
