Hi there Kay,

you can succeed with a rny. Just to let you know Ive been looking into a revision to my RNY in 2009. Its been gradual but weight is creeping back up. how are you getting your surgery approved.

Hello,

I have developed ulcers and erosive esophagitis and had the mini gastric bypass in 2008. Has anyone had had MGB converted to RNY and had the ulcers not return?

I just had my lap band taken out 2 weeks and have the sleeve. ( oh I had it for 10 years and this past summer it dropped, and was told if I don't get it out it will start shutting down my organs. I was starting to turn gray ect could go on. )

I feel like 15 years younger after this. I am in Canada across from Detroit. I researched so many doctors yeh even Mexico and picked Dr. Mark Pleatman in Michigan yeh I had to pay out of my pocket. In my orientation nutrition ect I had people from Chicago, Indiana, Ohio and Las Vegas. This doctor does 4-6 a week of sleeves, he also teaches doctors on this procedure. This Doctor is so so good and tells you like it is.

Doctors are still putting those Bands in for the money who cares about the patient. Also now they say the bypass is bad too cancer the pills don't absorb in the stomach what stomach, and colon cancer. The problems I had with my body are gone because the band is gone, I can breath, no pain.

Research Dr. Mark Pleatman 248-334-5444...www.drpleatman.com

Believe me he will help you what's a phone call and free consultation

best of luck Mike

How common is it for a VGS to be revised to a Bypass due to GERD? I've done a mountain of research over the past 10 years on VGS..... and this potential complication is my current biggest concern.

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm just curious....I have the band since 2007

And I want the gastric bypass. Have any of you had to go through wait time for 6 months if you have already had one of the surgeries done?

Thank you
