Revision to RNY?
I had a Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) over 25 years ago. All I got from the surgery w as chronic nausea and vomiting (everyday) and maladaptive eating habits. Needless to say my weight remained a major issue for me. I recently found a bariatric surgeon who suggested that a reversal or a revision to a RNY were possible. I chose the RNY and am now having second thoughts. I sought out help because of complications from the VBG. I have not been able to eat solid foods for 18 months, have had stage D esophagitis and now have Barrett's Esophagus. I am within 60 lbs of my goal weight. I am miserable as I also have hernias and an obstruction. I started the revision journey in September and am still waiting for a surgery date. I just want to be healthy and symptom free. Am I trading one set of symptoms for another if I get a revision to a RNY. I am in my mid sixties and am tired of sitting on the fence. Is there anyone out there who has had this experience and had a successful reversal or revision?
