Do you mind my asking who did your re-sleeve? I don't hear of them often, and have heard it's because they are hard to do when the stomach tissues get thinner with each surgery. I try to keep up with the good surgeons that do some of the tougher procedures.
So happy you have resolution to your gerd as well. Mine resolved when I had my DS (also a sleeve stomach) but I have heard of a few that have gerd after getting their sleeve, and have wondered if it's how the sleeve is made. I like the sleeve a lot, and would have loved to have a stand alone sleeve myself, but had metabolic issues and knew tiny meals was not going to be enough for me, so went with DS. I love my sleeve, and love being truly satisfied with tiny meals.
UPDATE: For anyone wondering... I met with 3 surgeons and all 3 recommended a revision due to my upper GI. I have decided to stick with Dr Keshishian in Glendale. WOW did he blow me away. Spent so much time with me. Brought a board with pictures did drawings, explained everything in detail. Highly recommend him. Scheduled for an endoscopy April 5th. Will keep you updated
