Does this sound like I have a chance.
I posted this in another post regarding my EGD. But wanted some one that has had a revision or who is approved for one to let me know if this sounds like I am on the right track.
I had my EGD today. The Dr. did not speak to my husband after, so I got a written report. I do have a follow up with him on 9-4-08, but wanted some hope to hang onto before then. Here are the findings:
Patent gastric bypass with a > 100ml pouch volume and intact staple line.
There is a dilatation of the gastro-jejunostomy afer gastric bypass. The anastomotic site is larger than should be noted at this point after surgery.
Then it said that there is evidence of post-operative changes that warrant re-evaluation for revision of original bariatric procedure.
I am not sure what size my pouch was made when I had my original surgery and my surgical notes do not really say. But does it sound like I am on track for a revision. I am not sure at this point what direction I want to go, but I know I don't want Stomaphyx. I am leaning either towards the band over bypass or ERNY.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I do not post on here often, but I read daily about all of the wonderful people on here and their successes. I was just wanting some help.

I know it is a more risky surgery, but the DS has been wonderful for me, and a few of my RNY friends. If not the DS, I would go for the ERNY. Greater long-term success.
