Revision to RNY

[Sam.is.sassy 26]

Hi there

I can't seem to get an answer about converting from the Sleeve to the RYN. I am needing it done do to GERD I also have a hiatal hernia. I am curious to know what the weight loss is like with a revision. I have already lost about 160 lbs but would like to lose 60 more. I need to lose 80 to be a healthy BMI

I hear the weight loss is slower, but I have not had a revision. There are tons of posts on here asking about revision. Have a look around and you'll probably find your answers. Good luck.

So what I don't understand is do people get a revision because the first one didn't work or because a few years passed?

For me I developed GERD 3 years post op, when I had testing done it also shows that I have hernia that is push my stomach into my lungs.

Would hernia repair be an option rather than another wls

Chances are that the Gerd would not resolve and being a single parent I don't have the luxury for being down for too long

Also there has been a study that shows without the revision the hernia will return in 2-3 years

I've seem lots of people on here that convert from sleeve to rny. Maybe do a search.

Good luck!

I had band to RNY only 7 weeks post op but GERD actually is worse. You have to take omeorezole daily but I had to add Retanidine to my daily. My friend did sleeve to RNY still has GERD unfortunately she is 7months po. Good luck for you.

Okay, what happened to the 95% who have relief from GERD? Did anyone else feel better after revision?

I’m 7 days post op. My revision from sleeve to bypass was March 23rd. I had really bad GERD even with liquids. I’m on Clear Liquids right now and I’ve had tea which usually causes an issue, but so far so good. I don’t feel that burning in my throat are feel like gagging anymore. So I’m glad I did it. RNY all the way!😉

What was your PH level? I am happy you feel better. I pray that it will work for me too!

I really don’t know what my PH level was. I go see the doc Monday so I’ll find out then. I really hope this continues so I don’t have to take Protonix anymore.

Dont get me wrong I LOVE my RNY but as far as GERD its not burning cause the acid doesnt come all way up but I do still have reflux.
