How many of you needed revision from sleeve to bypass>?

I think it will be great if you create a post about all those bypass misconceptions.

I had my sleeve converted to RNY about a month ago due to GERD. I had never dealt with any acid trouble before surgery.

Weight regain shouldn't be a consideration when making your decision. Regain generally happens when folks make poor food choices and get lax on following the post-op rules, and you can do that with either surgery.

thank you. I think the GERD issue would be my biggest worry. I don't have any issues with getting heartburn ever but I see that GERD can become an issue after this surgery.

I developed severe GERD about 8 months after my VSG. Like 409% higher than normal severe. I never had a jistory of heatburn prior to surgery. I revised from VSG to RNY on 7/1/2016. My surgeon told me that he will not perform VSG on patients with diagnosed GERD or Reflux and if the patient insists, he tells them to find another doctor. My advice? If you have a history of heartburn, go with RNY. I get that there are many who had their heartburn resolve after VSG, but I think they're the lucky ones in the minority. It was seriously no fun developing lesions on my esophagus and on certain days only being able to eat crackers because my acid was so bad.

Good luck with whatever surgery you decide on!!

I'm 13 years out with my VSG. Stable weight at 125 lost. For me it was the best choice. Choose a great surgeon and follow the plan. Even this far out I eat protein first, veggies next. No water at meals.

I'm 5 years post op and have struggled with GERD and tried to get revision approved but my insurance don't consider GERD as a medical necessitie for revision make sure your surgeon adds all of you comorbidities for the reason for your revision.

I don't regret having sleeve but I don't like the reflux with rny the chance for reflux is less or none but either way your life and relationship with food is most definitely going to change.. Which ever you decide good luck.
