Sleeve to bypass revision

[ausmith 374]

It's tricky to say as it was "silent" reflux. I didn't really ever have proper heartburn. So I'll find out at my 4-week appointment. Because of the way the bypass works I was told it would be almost impossible for me to have reflux afterward.

It's hard to tell with the diarrhea as well. It seems like it might be a smidge better but I am still on liquids so it's still not expected to be "normal" yet I suppose. So just waiting a bit longer to see.

Misty good to hear things are ok so far. I remember the problems you had before so fingers crossed you sail through this time. Take care

@@mistysj I sure hope this fixes things for you. I remember I had diarrhea for the first 5-6 weeks after surgery, and I was panicked it would be that way for the rest of my life. It felt like it lasted forever, and it wasn't pleasant. No one ever said it was a possibility, and I was shocked by it. I hope it can be over for you, too!

Misty... I am having the same problem with reflux only mine isn't silent anymore. In the stages of pre op testing. Gastric emptying scan in the morning then nutrition in the afternoon. I am scared. I could stand to lose more weight but I did lose a lot after my sleeve. Very happy actually where I am weight wise. Hope your doing well. Keep the updates coming please!

Hi Misty just wondering how you are ?

How are you misty?

I hope all goes well for you! The thought of doing this surgery again scares the heck out me! I was recently diagnosed with a hiatal hernia three years post op and I pray it doesn't get worse.
