Reflux issues from VSG and now a Revision???

Compared to the VSG surgery, this was much more painful. This pain is very noticeable when I stand from a sitting position.

Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. I hope the pain goes away sooner than later. I am not looking forward to the surgery.

Thank you. The pain is not as intense as the first 2 days and is getting better.

I appreciate you sharing this. I have to say I am very concerned about this surgery... I have had several other surgeries in the past but this one is really concerning me. Next week I go for my EGD... Already had an Upper GI.

I had significantly less pain after my revision than after my VSG. My recovery was easy

Oh this is making me feel less scared. I have had old school c section, hernia repair from that, VSG, Hysterectomy, and now this impending bypass... I am not crazy about the recovery but hoping it does go easier being my second time through bariatric. Just took a afternoon power nap and now having issues with reflux during day :(

Like Stacy my post op pain was much easier with RNY than my first surgery (band). I was up and walking quickly. being my second time around I knew to move move move to get rid of the gas. also drinking warm not cold water. helps to already have experience.

Hi. I had the sleeve May 2013. I weighed 226, got down to 186, got pregnant and couldn't gain weight. After I had the baby I got down to 160. Started having really bad reflux. Then all of a sudden I started gaining. Found out my stomach stretched and I have a hiatal hernia. My doctors office submitted all of my paperwork Friday, March 31st and my insurance approved it Wednesday April 5th! I am afraid to have the bypass done. My doc recommended the sleeve and the linx. I am also afraid of that. My surgery is scheduled for May 9th. I currently weigh 200 and I am 5'3.

why are you afraid of bypass? there are thousands of people on here who have been successful with it. My understanding is that it is the #1 revision choice for sleevers with reflux. I revised from a band and it cured my reflux.

My sister had the band done about 16 years ago and recently had the bypass done. She always complains that she feels bad.

How long did your surgery take?
