Approved for conversion to bypass!

[justhere4theshow 462]

I got my approval today for my sleeve to be converted to RNY! My tentative date is October 26. I am so relieved. I have had severe bile reflux for 4 months. I'm getting tired and I seem to be on a constant emotional roller coaster. Just hoping the next 3 weeks go by fast!

What is severe bile reflux ?

It is when bile backs up into the gastric sleeve and into the esophagus. It has damaged the bottom of my esophagus. Feels like heartburn amplified 100 times. Conversion to bypass is the only way to fix it.

I am having my conversion this week! Have esophageal stricture and reflux for 10 mos. 2yrs post sleeve. Wishing you guys the best with your surgeries. How long post sleeve are you? Nervous about anything?

I had my sleeve for over 3 years. It took me almost 5 months to be able to eat mushy foods. Then I had a stricture I had an endoscopy next and I was told last year that I had Barrett's esophagus. Not nice, so I'm looking forward to the RNY. I'll be praying for everyone here for a speedy and easy recovery let's all keep in touch

Did you have Acid reflex before the sleeve? I want the sleeve but my doctor is being really pushy about me getting the roux en y better. Said because I have GERD the sleeve would make it worse. Curious if this is what happened in your case.
