RYGB revision/reversal into a sleeve



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for anyone who has had a revision or someone who has had a sleeve and lives in Lancaster pa. My surgery will be on March 28th,2016. I'm excited and the good thing is that I know what to expect after wards because I had the gastric bypass in2003. I'm scared because there are serious complications that could arise BUT I believe that everything happens for a reason and somehow I'm going to help others who have give through a gastric bypass reversal and creation of a gastric sleeve. I would love to hear some support.

Blessings

I'm in similar place as you trying to figure out what to do. You actually had RYGB revised to sleeve? I wasn't sure that it even was possible there's so much conflicting information online. How are you feeling now just about a year later? My health is declining rapidly due to malabsorption turning into malnutrition creating so many health issues and hitting scary lifetime low weight 103lbs having trouble even maintaining that weight. My overall appearance is of someone slowly starving to death. Pancreas issues, hair falling out, teeth decaying, slow healing from even minor scratch, poor skin condition/quality, abdominal pain, no appetite, fatigue. I just feel/look so unhealthy. I want to speak with new bariatric surgeon, my original surgeon who I loved and trusted left to start a new center in another state, about having a revision to gastric sleeve hoping it will help with absorption problem and that will in turn help resolve other related health problems. Right now I don't feel strong enough to survive any surgery though. Has it helped/worked for you so far? Any complications? Any issues with insurance?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
