Thank you so much for your reply.Glad to hear you are doing better.I am imagining it is not going to be a picnic.How long were you hospitalized?Any tips? So not looking forward to the surgery and healing. It?s not our first rodeo.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I did a conversion from VSG to RNY due to GERD about 2.5 weeks ago. The recovery was completely awful and I struggled, I'm not going to lie, but at this point I'm feeling better, just exhausted.
I'm already down by 20lb, though I'm due to hit my "three week stall" any day now. The GERD is completely gone, which is a huge relief, and I'm feeling much better.
Definitely glad I did it, though the past couple of weeks have definitely been a struggle.

Hello.
Wondering how you are doing?Hoping very well.
Im scheduled for revision Sept 16.Would like to hear of your experience.
Best to you
I am thinking about having this done. Let me know how things go.
Good luck!
RNY to DS is a very complicated procedure, and there are only a few surgeons in the country who do it if I recall. It's a relatively dangerous operation.

I see that you have been post op for a month. How did you do this month?
What was your weightloss like and how do you feel?
Thank you all for your responses.
I have lost around 15 lbs on my own. But it is very slow going. It is approximately 1 lb a month..
I am loathe to change my eating patterns too radically because that tends to set me off to binging and other
and purging. Dieting causes me to overeat. So minor modifications are all I can do.
I am looking at the change to the DS from Gastric bypass but my insurance may not allow it.
My pouch has a very large opening into my intestines and I can eat a lot but I try not to.
The gain was due to my being out of my comfort zone. I moved in with my mother to care for her for and she had food in her house. Bread and cookies etc.. I do not keep food in my house unless I have control over it. My doctor also took me off of a medication that inhibits compulsive behavior. I have since moved back into my own home and gone back on my medication helping me to lose some of the weight.
I would like to get down to 200 lbs again.
I have looked into a lot of kinds of revision and the switch to DS seems to be the best.
Has anyone else had it or no if it even works?
