VSG 4 years post Op...looking into revison RNY or DS? in the air....

SW-312

sleeved 11-6-2012

LW-224 lost 100lbs in 10 months.

CW-253

Lots of pain and GERD from my sleeve.

Possible Revision to Bypass . UPPER GI scheduled Nov 8th 2016

If your primary reason for revision is GERD, then you go with the RNY.  The DS keeps the sleeved stomach, which is creating the high pressure and causing GERD, so a DS won't take care of that problem.  RNY is your best bet.

thanks for your reply!

Do you have a hiatal hernia?  Sometimes the GERD can be caused by this and not the sleeve.  I have lots of GERD from mine, but I also have a small hernia.  

It really depends.  GERD is no joke.  See what the EGD says.  Mine is Tuesday coming up.  If the cause of my GERD is the celiac + hiatal hernia, I will be getting the DS, myself.  If not, we will talk about the RNY.

I am having sleeve to RNY Bypass this Friday, 10/28. The acid reflux had gotten bad and also I had regained all my weight. My VSG was in 2012. 

hey hows your recovery going? I hope and pray all went well!!

So far all is well! Surgery was Friday with no issues. I stayed one night in the hospital. I am home now and still just sipping water and crystal light. I am VERY hopeful!! :-)

I have a very similar story only I am about 14 months post op an i have only lost 68 pounds and have severe reflux i suffer with spasms and exsessive hunger even when I know im not hungry but I eat anyway because it makes my stomach feel better when its full idk why but I wish i could just get the restrictiln i use to feel before the severe reflux.
