"...Angela was one of the more unusual patients on the show because she had previously undergone weight loss surgery in her late 20s when she weighed 375 pounds. She ended up losing over 100 pounds. However, she ultimately gained back all the weight she lost and then some. .."
At dr. Now her noted weight during her first visit was 608 lbs. " AFTER RNY. Because she did not change her diet or lifestyle.

Hi!
im in same boat,
watching your thread
RnY scheduled 5/7
Sleeve to Rny seems to be the game plan
10 years out and Drs are finding regain.
im ready for permanent RnY
As I've had a diagnosis of lipedema in the 15 years since my RNY procedure, I think it's really unwise to expect it would even be possible to achieve or maintain more than about 25# of loss from any kind of revision. So that's really my goal here.
All of these procedures, TOR, Apollo, ROSE, are designed to narrow an enlarged stoma, not the pouch size. They are all pretty similar, and have different names because the surgeons who developed them gave slightly different techniques.
I can only go by the shared experiences of those on OH, as I haven't had it done myself. Weight loss hasn't been great from everything I've read. There has been initial loss, which can be accounted for by pre and post op diets and recovery. But long term it hasn't seemed to help much.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
If it were me, I'd get rid of the heartburn and reflux.
The rest of your questions are for you and your surgeon to answer. I think I saw you over in one of the other forums and you'll probably get more input over there.
Ultimately you'll have to make a choice but there is a lot of information for you to consider. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Do you sure about decision? Is an drastic procedure.
Hi, I've had sleeve since 2011 but am having loads of heartburn and reflux and annoying belching.
i will be having an EGD next week and my surgeon said depending on the results I may be eligible to revise to bypass.
Would this be a wise decision? My BMI is 30. Would it help me lose more weight? What are pros/cons to revising and what will be biggest change for me in going from Sleeve to bypass?
I would be so appreciative of any info you can provide! Thanks!
Hello!
New member, but not new bariatric pt. Original RNY in 2004. Original loss -160#. Currently down only -70# from original highest weight. Have spent the last 1.5 years on medication assisted weight loss protocols. -10#.
I am researching the TOR-e. NOT interested in full revision as I can not accept the risks of full surgery - original RNY landed me in the ICU for 4 days. Endoscopic/outpatient or nothing.
Has anyone had a TOR-e? I keep hearing about an Apollo Overstich, but from what I read that is changing the size of the pouch not the outlet, and this is outlet reduction rather than pouch. What is the difference with all these various endogastric procedures? I know many of them are not very popular. Has anyone here had a TOR-e?
The research I am looking at is:
- Transoral outlet reduction with full thickness endoscopic suturing for weight regain after gastric bypass: a large multicenter international experience and meta-analysis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28664438
- Five Year Outcomes following Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) Show Effective and Durable Treatment of Weight Regain after ROUX-EN-Y Gastric Bypass https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(17)34356-1/abstract
