Revision from vertical sleeve to RNY
I need advice as soon as possible please. VERY nervous about doing a revision but also do not want to regain. I have not been eating any crazy amounst, but see that I have increased..still short of 'normal' amounts, but more than I have. I am about to schedule a revision for this weekend, but for some reason feel very nervous, which I did not feel before. Any advice? Anyone go from sleeve to gastic bypass? Thanks in advance.
I had a vsg done 2 yrs in feb 27 but I myself gained back the very little I did actually loose , I am in booking now for a revision for RNY had a scope done having another march 11 then pre op is march 19th and then after that I should be getting my surgery date being scared is normal , lots of research out there , I believe for me RNY is the way I wanted to go in the first place , but I had a vsg so im actually looking forward for this next surgery for I know I will lose this time the weight I wanted to lose the first time .. good luck on the choice you make , I'm sure you will choose whats best for you

You already have the first part of the most effective surgery there is - the DS. Considering you will lose the ability to take NSAIDs for pain, risk dumping and reactive hyppoglycemia and regain if they give you rny, I'm certain you have a surgeon that doesn't actually know how to do DS.
There may be no going back if you let them cut your pyloric valve out of things at this stage, and regardless of what surgery I personally have, I'd look at that as a terrible mistake. Please do some research that isn't just information spoon fed from one surgeon. Good luck.
