Technical question for revision vsg to bypass
My surgeon says my pouch is the size of a hard boiled egg. I had revision Nov 28, 2018 due to GERD. My sleeve was May 2008. As long as everything works like it is supposed to, I do not care about the GE junction. I am off ALL acid reflux meds. Off Metformin. I am almost happy I developed intractable GERD.
I had a revision as well 6 months ago but was still having reflux. I sought a second opinion and he thinks my surgeon did not fix a hiatial hernia that was detected on a CT scan prior to surgery. He also thinks he made my pouch too big. So waiting on an appointment with Cleveland Clinic. Glad your reflux resolved. Been dealing with mine for three years

I am following this as I found out from my endocrinologist that my hiatal hernia was reduced in size but actually not repaired. He was reading the post op report. I don't get it. My endoscopy showed both severe GERD and a hiatal hernia. I have been able to reduce the number of PPI medications but I am still taking 1-2 a day. I have no idea about the size of my pouch
