Nope. I maintain a normal weight according to the BMI charts.

Yes. And you've already heard my story, but here it is again. I developed severe GERD 8 months post VSG, after having no history of GERD or Reflux. I had a pH study and manometry. My pH study showed my acid was 409% higher than normal. PPIs are ineffective for me (I have a gene mutation that makes me an ultra rapid metabolizer of the medication. It's like taking nothing) and I wouldn't want to be on PPIs for life anyway, even if they did work. Prior to making the decision to revise, I had gained about 10-12 pounds, since the only thing that helped with the acid was ritz crackers. My surgeon told me it could take up to a year to lose the 10 pounds and get back down to goal. It took 5 or 6. I haven't had any issue with losing too much weight or wasting away to skeletor status because of the malapsorbtion. I'm now 2 years post revision and maintaining a healthy weight.

From what my dr advised he said that the rose procedure has a lot of failure and most insurances won't cover. So with me my pouch or stoma is stretched and what he wants to do is called a "Distal Roux-en Y gastric bypass" It is usually only considered when the patient has a very low base metabolic rate and continues with poor weight loss results despite an augmented exercise program.
