Sleeve to rny?



Recommended Posts

I have had constant pain since my sleeve. About a year after I had the sleeve they removed my gallbladder to solve the pain and nausea vomiting. It never stopped. I have gone thru meds, er visits, and "possible gastroparesis". Nothing has solved it. I gave up on my original surgeon and found a new one. First meeting he is telling me that it's possible nerve damage or a tightened point in the stomach. More likely nerve damage. He says there are 2 possible fixes: switch to bypass or a pyloric valve repair? Anyone done either?

I am headed for some new X-rays and back to see him in December. But one more question, if it does need surgery to repair, anyone have luck getting the surgery pushed up? I met my insurance deductible for this year and it would be great to get this repair in this year if possible. Do doctors even care about things like that?

Thanks!

Ugh, sorry to hear you are having a hard time of it. My wife had her gallbladder removed and she still gets pain due to scarring, so that is not uncommon. I hope you find a good way through everything.

The resolve will be the rny. My original surgeon should have never recommended the sleeve with my acid reflux. It only made it worse. It is the base of all the problems

      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?
