Revision from Sleeve to Gastric Bypass due to Acid Reflux



Recommended Posts

I just received my approval from my insurance and my surgery date to go from a Sleeve to Gastric Bypass due to my Acid Reflux. Has anyone had the procedure done due to Reflux as well? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

When did you have your sleeve surgery?

I had minor GERD before the sleeve, wasn’t anything to complain about or take antacid’s really, once in a blue moon.

but after the sleeve it has progressively gotten worse. I started to really notice about 2 years after the sleeve and now I am on prescription meds from my surgeon and over the counter antacids. Thankfully I don’t have any ulcers or problems (had an upper GI and endoscopy).

I got my sleeve done in December 2017, and I have never had heartburn/GERD in my life before this. But now, I literally cant eat anything AT ALL. I have thrown up stomach acid a few times, and I have had to sleep sitting up countless times.

I had to get an emergency scope two weeks ago, I did the barium swallow as well. ITS BAD.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
