Topic: RE: Vsg revision to ds???? Vsg regain

So I actually did my EGD in January only to find out I don't really have a sleeve. The surgeon did not do what he was paid to do. He's also indicted and unable to practice anymore for a lot of things. I did try to go through insurancebecause they do offer coverage but they denied me because I had a previous surgery and they said I only read gain weight because I wasn't compliant. And I don't have a complication. My surgeon try to argue that him not doing a sleeve correctly there's a complication but they did not accept it. I kind of just wish I'd had surgery in January but I really thought was a good chance insurance would cover it. Least I know the reason for the regain was that I don't really have a sleeve. He didn't remove the antrum or the fundus like my stomach is just huge.I am scheduled for surgery May 9 to DS.

MGB is one anastomosis gastric bypass, whereas RNY is two anastomosis gastric bypass.

Hi

May I suggest to review about MGB( mini gastric bypass).

I must go thru a revision from VSG and considering MGB, the main reason is that I regained most of the weight lost in the VSG and MGB it is not as drastic as the RNY.

Just an idea, check on MGB too.

Regards

Pedro

Topic: RE: Anyone need revision from MGB due to ulcers?

Hi, The revision would be MGB to gastroplasty

( sleeve that is already there). I'm wanting to remove the bypass due to ulcers, possible SIBO and terrible malabsorption. Looking for others who may have these problems. No h pylori/ was tested.

What antibiotics help SIBO, are the dude effects bad?

Be careful with your expectations as revision from MGB to RNY may not resolve your ulcer issues. I've been reading that the rate of ulcers for MGB and RNY patients is equivalent.

The best way to prevent/heal peptic ulcers are to:

  • Get tested for H. Pylori bacteria
  • Avoid NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen)
  • Avoid smoking
  • Avoid alcohol
  • Avoid/limit carbonated beverages
  • Avoid/limit coffee
  • Avoid/limit caffeine
  • Steroids may lead to ulcers, as well as medications to treat osteoporosis

No pouch pain. Been scoped 4 times. Had ct scans. Barium swallow. Its anything i consume. Even water is uncomfortable but anything thicker is painful. Dr is considering going back in and looking at intestines and possibly shortening them.

I would definitely ask for an open,abdominal exploratory surgery,to look at the pouch,intestines,remnant stomach and everything else in there.

There has to be something the scopes are missing.

I wish you luck in finding out the problem and getting it corrected.
