Has any one had RNY then a revision of the RNY?
Has anyone had RNY revision to RNY? My pouch is still small but I have a enlarged stoma with food bypassing to small intestine. Surgeon feel he can fix the issue with the same surgery cutting half of stomach off and part of small intestine and reattached. I'm concerned about slow weight loss or nothing at all. Will I have the same results as before? Bad side effects or more complications? Please help me with answer, concerns and suggestions.
Thanks
I had a revision from a RNY to a sleeve in November 2015. I can say it was not an easy surgery because it was done open, but it has been the best thing I have done. I lost 100 pounds with the RNY that was done in 2008. Since having the revision I have lost another 50 pounds. I just saw my surgeon this morning and he is extremely happy, as I am. The only issue I have had is with strictures. I have had to be stretched 4 times with one more coming up.
I say if you can get the revision I would recommend it, but be prepared that it may not be as easy on your body as the first surgery!!
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!!
I need to update my picture ?
