I just had a revision from RNY to DS.  My RNY failed.  It has a high failure rate.  Please do your homework and RESEARCH!!!!  You already have the first part of the DS ~ the sleeve.

Check DSFacts.com

If you have the RNY, and later, for whatever reason, want to revise from RNY to DS, there are only about 1/2 dozen surgeons in the United States that do a revision of this complexity ~ RNY to DS.  There is a list in my profile.

RNY 2/26/2002                           DS 12/29/2011
HW 317                                     SW 263 BMI 45.1
SW 298                                     CW 192 BMI 32.9~60% EWL
LW 151 in 2003  
TT 4/9/2003

Normal BMI 24.8 is my GOAL!!!

 

 

 


 

 

 

GBP (RNY) 2/26/02 298 lbs, TT 4/9/03 151 lbs, DS 12/29/11
HW 317 SW 263 BMI 45.1/CW 192 BMI 32.9/GW 145 ~ Normal BMI 24.8

I had VSG done 8/2010 and lost 78 pounds in first 10 months but since then no loss and not only have I not lost any more weight, ive gained 23 pounds effortlessly. I'm looking into my options and trying to decide which way to go. I know there is a surgeon in NJ who will do a sleeve to DS revision and am going to see my prior surgeon who will do a revision to RNY. I appreciate any advice on insurance approval or which revision would be better, DS or RNY. I cuurently have bc/bs but have open enrollment at work and have aetna as an option and am not sure which plan might be easier to work  with in terms of revision. :)

Hi!

To those of you that the sleeve did not work, do you have a good reason? I had the lap-band (2007) and I am hoping to revise to the sleeve next month, but if the lap-band did not work, what makes me think the sleeve will??? Any advice is appreciated.

i think for some of us, the restrictive component is just not enough. I definitely dont have the restriction that I did at the start and can eat more than i would like to but still cant and dont eat as much as i did pre-surgery. I think for those of us with a really slow metabolism the malabsortive portion of the surgery is necessary. just a thought. I have started the process of looking into a revision to DS. Good luck with whatever you decide!

That is what I am wondering if I need revision from Lap Band to DS instead. I am not a big eater or snacker, but my metabolism is SO slow that I only lose during the liquid stage after surgery or when the band was so tight I could only drink.
