Dear All,
I am considering of having a revision surgery from Gastric Sleeve to SADI-S (Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy)
Has anyone had a revision from Sleeve to SADI-S? Good experiences? Bad experiences?
Can you please tell me what your experience was like?
Thank you!
So, the more research on Stomaphyx I see, it seems it is not a good procedure:seems it is temporary, as some people have to have a second one done as quickly as 6 months later. I have scheduled a revision in Mexico as my insurance will not cover me. It it about 8000, not including air fare, and they do have several finance companies they work with. I have not seen any bad reviews for the Doctor I have chosen, and see a lot of good things on their facebook page. Tijuana Bariatric Center Support Group.
Same!! Just got to the hotel in Tijuana, and have my revision (sleeve to mini bypass) tomorrow. I had a very successful sleeve procedure 7 years ago. With the very slow loss of my father due to an illness, I grabbed all the food and booze that would help me "cope" with my grief.
Im incredibly happy to have this restart, tomorrow. Dr Carlos Altamirano is the surgeon!ð?'?
I'm looking to do the same thing! Had my miracle baby in October!
Hey all,
I had vsg surgery in January 2016. Highest weight was 290, pre-surgery weight 278 and lowest weight after vsg was 180.
Went through two rounds of IVF and successfully had our miracle baby October 2019. She was born at 29 weeks and weighed 2.7 lbs. I'm an emotional eater and let's just say food helped get me through a long nicu stay.
I'm currently 249 and am looking into revision for weight loss. I understand that I have to change my mindset. I'm currently seeing a therapist to work through my eating habits but would love to hear anyone who has went though something similar.
Thanks in advance.
Hi!
How did the Stomaphyx work for you? I've been thinking about going that route and wondered how well it worked!
Thanks for any input !
I am 13 years out from RNY surgery and have gained all my weight back. After two kids later (6 and 1) and turning 40, the pandemic crisis has pushed me to the breaking point. I feel like I'm in such a fragile emotional state. I'm interested in revision as well but am I little scared to schedule appointments during this time.
Don't be ashamed of your weight regain. I am in the same boat and looking at doing a revision. I'm not sure how pricey it is though. Do any of you guys know how much it costs?
Hi all. I had a VSG over 2 years ago and between pre surgery and after surgery I lost 250 pounds. I was so happy, so healthy, so proud.
Then I got pregnant. The purpose of losing weight was to get healthy enough to have kids. I had to do fertility treatment which caused some weight gain. It was worth it though. Then with pregnancy I gained more. I thought I had a handle on it. Then with post partum depression, gained a bunch more. Then got pregnant again miraculously. More weight gain. More depression more weight gain. I spiraled out of control.
Here I am, 37 years old now with two babies under two and 200 pounds of weight regained.
I am so disgusted with myself. So depressed. So sad.
I am back on track and have lost 40 pounds in the last 5 months but I think I could do better. I talked to my surgeon and am now exploring revision to bypass.
Has anyone had success with this type of revision? I am ready to stay the course this time and use this tool to it's fullest. No more pregnancy in my future :)
