Surgery Tomorrow- Revision to Bypass

Hi Everyone,

I have to convert to RNY due to extreme GERD. My surgery is tomorrow. They said recovery and diet will be exactly the same as it was for the sleeve. Starting to get nervous because I never wanted RNY (though I got some of the side effects of it that I didn't want like lactose intolerance, sugar intolerance, and trouble absorbing medications and vitamins orally). I don't remember a lot of what it was like after surgery but I do remember throwing up non stop so I'm praying that doesn't happen again! Any words of wisdom or luck are welcome!

Sorry that this reply is probably too late. I always discuss the throwing up after surgery with the anesthesiologist.

They can use medicines to be sure that it does not happen.

Long time no see. Good luck with your surgery! I always get a scopolamine patch for the nausea.

Good luck on your surgery. I have a friend who is thinking about revision because she doesn't want to take the PPI. Did the medication not help and did you reach goal with sleeve ? I also have it and the meds control it, but it does scare me that I could have more issues down the road.
