RNY to RNY revision.
Sunnyway replied to ShannonCorbin's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I also will be having RNY revision very soon, but my original RNY was done 30 years ago. Over 10 years I regained all I had lost. Both my pouch and anastomasis stretched. We won't lose as much following revision, but It will get us closer to "normal" BMI. There has been much progress in the technique and protocol since even 2010 so I'm optimistic. -
I had my original RNY in 2010. Lost 120 lbs. In the past 12 years I have had a baby, my parents moved in with me and my weak ankle and flat foot got progressively worse until I was limited to swimming and yoga for exercise. I gained 60 lbs back and my gastric reflex was getting bad. I had an upper GI and found 1. Hiatal hernia (rare for RNY) and my pouch was 3x the size my surgeon would like and my stomach 2x. He said that it is partially due to stretching and partially that my original surgeon made it bigger than he would have in the first place. Revision in 3 weeks. I’m a little nervous because last time I was able to lay around on the couch for 3 weeks post op and “eat” all my “meals” alone. Now I have a very active 7 year old and a family that likes to have family dinners together. Any other RNY to RNY revisions?

Too much weight loss? Is that really possible?
loveoften replied to mae7365's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Before I had my sleeve in late July of 2012 I was 199 lbs. By March of 2013, I was below 130 and I looked sickly. Kinda like a lollipop... my head seemed too big for my body. I do have pics - just ask. I hope you are healthy above all. I was happy when I regained and maintained in the 140-150 lb. range. Now I am doing a revision VSG to RNY and at a much higher re-gain weight (for many reasons). Be well. -

What foods have you broken up with?
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to Smanky's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had the same problem with eggs for awhile after revision. I started using an egg substitute called “just egg” that has about the same calories and protein but made from plants. It tastes like eggs but was so much easier until I could tolerate regular eggs again at around 9 months out. -
Am I really going to live on 1000 calories?
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to doobie31's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I’m 15 months out from a revision (gerd caused by hernia), have been at goal for about 11 of those months and maintain on around 1300-1500 calories a day. Most of the meals I eat are pretty plant-based as most animal protein sits heavy these days. These are pretty typical days when I’ve packed all my meals for the day for work. The red blender bottle is a green smoothie with kale, spinach, a frozen fruit, protein powder and almond milk. The little thermos is almost always some kind of vegetable heavy soup. The calories for the day are pictured after each one. While they’re convenience food heavy (protein shakes and bars) I know that’s what I need at work as I rarely have time to sit and eat regularly meals. As you get closer to surgery and after surgery you’ll eventually find what works for you and you’ll be able to better gage hunger/fullness cues, what your body needs and the calories you’ll need. For now, work on tracking what you eat and making small changes, mindful eating, and finding ways to make your favorite dishes healthier. If you ever have questions we’re here to help the best we can even if that means directing you back to your surgery team and dietitian. -

Any December 2021 bypass people?

I am having revision surgery on December 17th. I am still waiting for cardiac clearance and I'm more nervous than the first time. I guess because I am 10 years older. -
Revision from sleeve to bypass
joeyangel99 replied to lions92's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hello! For those that have gotten the revision because of the GERD, did you feel relief immediately or did it take some time? My revision from sleeve to bypass was on 10/27, however I still feel GERD. I’ve heard some ppl say they felt immediate relief and others that it takes time. Can you all tell me what was your experience please. I am praying it goes away. The main reason I got the revision was for relief. -
GERD after Revision! Please help!

GERD after Revision! Please help!
joeyangel99 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I had my revision from sleeve to bypass on 10/27/21, only 3 weeks ago. I also had hiatal hernia repair, and gallbladder removal all at once. I am feeling good, no vomiting. Still on liquid stage, proceeding to soft solids soon. However, I am feeling GERD again! and worried the revision will not successfully resolve this frustrating issue. The nurse said to give it time. Did anyone have GERD weeks after their revision surgery? If so, did it resolve with time? Please I need some feedback! Thanks! -

Revision from sleeve to RNY. Have you had a second surgery or are you scheduled? Good luck! -
3 months post op and everything I swallow makes me feel like I have heart burn.
vikingbeast replied to Autumnrayne's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Reflux happens to many people after the sleeve. I get it if I eat too quickly or if I wait too long between times eating. Call your surgeon. There are stronger medications you can take. Some people do have a revision to gastric bypass to resolve it but usually only after medication can’t resolve it. -
revision Does Mini Gastric Bypass 'feel' the same as being Sleeved?
slimsuz posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi 7 years ago I had a sleeve gastrectomy, I had a great result and kept the weight off till this year where I have rapidly regained around half of my loss of 100lbs. I am considering a revision to MGB. I was wondering how it 'FEELS' - do you feel full in the same way as you did with your sleeve? How was recovery compared to your sleeve? Theres a lot of info I can find on results and toleration of foods but I'm curious to know if it 'feels' any different to you? Thanks in advance! Suzanne x -
I'm a little over a year post-op revision and I still have "dumping" episodes a couple times a week. It was MUCH WORSE the first couple months after surgery. Unfortunately, there isn't really any rhyme or reason to when I dump. Yes, high sugar and high fat items are sometimes a trigger, but overeating anything can have the same result. I get hot flashes, then severe bloating followed by diarrhea. But, dumping does keep me honest when it comes to watching what I eat. And I have to be super careful about my eating when I'm not at home!

December 2021 Friends?
Sunnyway replied to EllieV's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Until about 18 months ago I did not know that RNY revisions were even possible. Had I known I would have had done it long ago. Medical science has come a long way in 30 years! My original RNY was done in 1990. It failed after 6 months and a 75-lb weight loss. I regained the weight lost at about 10 lbs a year, returned to my original high weight of 300+ lbs, and stayed there for over 20 years despite many efforts to lose. Over the years my pouch stretched from 2 oz to 9 oz, the anastomosis stretched, and a fistula developed between pouch and stomach (which was not separated at that time). The revision will reduce the size of the pouch and anastomosis, and will separate the remnant stomach. My surgeon estimates I'll lose another 60 lbs over the 50 I've lost pre-surgery. I'm hoping for another 75 lbs. Either way, I'll still be obese, but in better shape than I am now. -

Is GERD worse in the beginning months after surgery?
lindseylovesdogs posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 2 months post-op, I'm on 80mg of pantoprazole, not on puree stage yet. I just got off of my PICC line yesterday. It seems like for the past 1-2 weeks the GERD has gotten worse, which is also when I started drinking a regular amount. I'm only drinking gatorade zero and 2 shakes. I have so much flem and saliva now and it also hurts. I had GERD, gastritis, and a small hernia prior to surgery. Does it get better as time goes on? Is it just worse in the beginning months or do I need to start looking at options (revision etc)?
