Complications after the RNY



Recommended Posts

So I am starting this topic because I just had double hernia surgery, two weeks after having my RNY. I was wondering what other people's complications were after surgery even ages six months after.

Day after rny, back to OR for bowel obstruction. Revised RNY 5 years later because I was stupid! Next day after that, back to OR for incarcerated hernia. Then 5 yrs later, started vomiting intermittently. Had sx. about 6 months later but all he found was adhesions. Stll, vomitting worsened and just last Thurs., had dissection of esophagus and repaired hiatal hernia and tacked pouch in place as it had rotated clockwise and pertruded above the disphragm. I hope to god this is it now; I pay cash for each surgery! BUT... since last Thurs., haven't thrown up!! And in case you are wondering; NO REGRETS AT ALL!

I'm 12 weeks out and have yet to experience a single complication. Sure hope my luck continues.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
