Anyone covert from Sleeve to DS?

I just had revision to DS on 2/18... so far so good. Mine was mainly for bile reflux GERD that was severe. Weight loss will be appreciated though.

Where did you get it done? How is recovery so far compared the the sleeve? Did you have to get an endoscopy to check your sleeve before hand? Sorry for all the questions!! Lol

I had mine done by Dr Jon Bruce at WakeMed Cary in NC. So far the post op has been far easier than the VSG. I don?t know if that?s because I knew what to expect or the fact my pouch was not touched during DS. Pain was minimal, although nausea the first 48 hours was bad. It has cured by bile reflux for sure.

Nausea has been a daily occurrence, but manageable. I feel like I know where my food is in my system at all times. SR meds had to be changed to IR. Bathroom stuff is weird.. dont stroll far the first few weeks. Water intake has been easier since I can still intake what I did prior to revision.

Please let me know if I can help in any way.

I had an endoscopy before, but more to confirm bile reflux GERD.

Congratulations on your journey. I am so glad to read that I am not the only one. My reflux was absolutely horrible. I stopped eating all carbs & sugars and it has helped drastically.

I look forward to more of your success story in the future.

I have found that my GERD is getting pretty bad too but I also feel that it is getting worse since I have had re-gain.
