Having Revision done from gastric bypass to distal.

Has any one had this done before?  I'm going with Dr. Lopez corvala from Tijuana.  Has any one done revisions with this doctor?   

there are some here that have had a distal revision, but don't post much. (do a search on distal rny revision). I'm in the process of a distal revision. Due my GERD, a DS is not an option for me. My original surgeon will be doing the revision. I've been dieting since early Oct with poor weight loss. I had very slow weight loss with the original rny and stopped losing at 18 months. I started gaining at 2 years out on 1600 calories (my weight is 230 lbs). It is believed my issue is metabolic when my test results were normal after seeing a Cardiologist and Endocrinologist due to my heart rate in the 40's. I will see my surgeon again Feb 5 and things will move quicker. 

Thanks

i will have my surgery on Feb 13th 2015.  With Dr Lopez Corvala.  Hope I'm doing the right thing.  RNy is been coverte to distal.  Which will creat malsorbation.   Hope I can deal with this.  Has anyone had this procedure done before.  What have been the results.  

Do you know what your common channel will be? My surgeon does 150-200 cm common channels.  Everybody's experience is different. Some have shorter common channels (200cm) and either do well or not. Is there a reason you're not doing a DS revision? If it weren't for my GERD, I would have it done.

You will still have a gastric bypass, it will just be a distal bypass instead of a proximal bypass. This will cause life-long malabsorption, but will require that you take a LOT more vitamins and minerals than you need with your proximal bypass.

I would not go to Tijuana for any reason whatsoever.

I agree with the Tiajuana thing
