Talk, talk and talk again with your doctor. Ask.him about his experience with revision. Look at all the information you can. Then do what is best for your life. Your body your way! As I type this it's so clear. I am going to fight for my revision.

Hi Thickemz27 - I'm new to the page and am wondering how you are doing now after your bypass revision?

Thanks

Looch

Good morning! I'm looking at the potential revision from vsg to rny due to reflux. But I don't know what to do.

I was sleeved in 2010, apparently there was a small hiatal hernia that the surgeon did not fix, but no problems until I was pregnant in 2014/2015. My pcp referred me to get an endoscopy and it was shown I had a 3 cm hiatal hernia. My omeprazole was bumped up to twice a day and I still continued to have reflux. Went to my surgeon, I've since had another endoscopy, barium swallow, manometry, and bravo test. All have confirmed the reflux and shown no abnormalities otherwise.

I want to keep my sleeve. Surgeon wants to revise me to rny to resolve the reflux. Seems to me the hernia could be repaired without revising but surgeon says there's only a 50% chance it will help the reflux.

Has anyone repaired a hernia and then later needed a revision? Or should I go straight to rny, or insist I just want the hernia fixed? I'm feeling pressure to make a decision because I assume all these test results are only valid for a certain amt of time, and I definitely don't want to have to repeat any of them. I'm also afraid if I revise, I could potentially be trading one problem for another.

Good news!! Insurance has approved my surgery. I am just waiting on a surgery date from my Dr.
