Hello all-

I have a recurring esophageal hernia and my doctor is recommending a revision from DS which I had 15 years ago to an RNY. He thinks this will reduce the chances of the hernia returning. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Also, I've regained most of my post DS weight and am hoping that this revision will help me lose some weight as well, but since the DS is a stronger surgery, my nutritionist says I may not lose any weight with the RNY.

I've never heard of a DS to RNY revision. Any advice is appreciated.
