I totally understand your fear. I am too! I am waiting for my surgical date. I just as soon get it over with it.
I'm so sick to my stomach, I have the GERD and I should've already had the RNY done but I was too scared to have it done, so here I am with it getting worse and I know I need to call the surgeon and schedule the surgery I have to take 1 rintandine 300mg pills 2x a day and the acid reflux just feels ugh. So sick of this I also am scared to have the rny done I know I'm headed that way. It's not about the weight it's getting rid of the acid reflux.
Oh thank you! I'm full of anxiety and worry right now. I'm due at the hospital at 515am tomorrow so that means I need to be on the road by 345am. Surgery is scheduled for 730am. Should be out of the OR by 11 or so. Praying for smooth sailing throughout the day.
I'll check in at some point.
Thanks again!

I had no idea that esophageal problems were common. I just had an upper GI and discovered that the band has already caused some problems in the way my esophagus works. Now, the sleeve isn't looking so good.
Thanks so much for your reply.
I also concur, revise from band to RNY instead of VSG.
Unfortunately, you may end up having to self-pay for revision surgery as insurance may not cover it, which sucks. If that turns out to be the case then you may want to consider gastric bypass surgery in Mexico. Many OHers have had great results with band-to-RNY surgery at Mexicali Bariatric Center.
