May Be Facing Revision; Please Share Your Experience

[mylighthouse 782]

Hello friends,

15 months post sleeve here, have lost a lot of weight, almost to goal.

I am having a lot of problems and may be facing a revision soon.

Would be interested in your experiences/progress after revision surgery. Are you glad that you had the revision? How much has it helped with issues you were dealing with pre-revision?

Thank you

I had a revision from a gastric band, not sleeve - and it is EVERYTHING I hoped for. No more gerd, fast weight loss, no hunger - seriously, I wish I had done it 5 years ago...

That's great, glad things have turned out well for you.

I deal with terrible GERD among other things. Not getting much down other than Soups because of the constant pain and nausea.

Appt with my surgeon on Friday. Will be interested in what he has to say. He mentioned to me a few weeks ago that he has never had to do a revision from sleeve to bypass. Oh boy.

Thanks for your response!

((hugs)) Hope they get things figured out for you! GERD sucks!

Following! I too am having a revision from sleeve to bypass due to a stricture and constant vomiting. Not really sure what to expect.

Thanks. It has been very rough. Looking forward to hopefully keeping down food after the revision. But, honestly, nervous about another surgery with more potential risks/complications. I am praying everything goes well for us both!

Prayer to you!!!

Look into the SIPS procedure revision. That may help and not as extreme as bypass
