I personally wouldn't consider long limb RNY. That is probably known as the worste combination of any WLS. It can cause severe malabsorption of proteins, minerals and vitamins, severe diarrhea, and overall problems.

If anything - I would consider revising to DS, but to to that, you would need one of a very few doctors who are very experienced to do that.

I would suggest posting your question on the DS forum. There are only a very few doctors who can successfully convert RNY to DS. Using any other doc, who is either new to that, or not very good in that, can cause severe damage, severe complication, and eventually painful death if not corrected. Please consider asking on DS forum.

I am pretty flipping enthused- my insurance came through and I finally got my date for revision (rny -> DS).

I had my rny in 2006, maintained well until I had a spinal fracture and subsequent issues.

How do I get one of those cool tape measure things in my profile?

My only real concern is that I have to be at school for half days on Sept 3/4/5. No full days until the 9th. I figure I can have help setting up my classroom - not much to do (fingers crossed).

I had RNY about 20 years ago, went from 260 lbs to 180, then eventually gained back up to 315. Now I am considering a revision called Long-Limb, which extends the channel from the pouch to the intestines and removes the old unused stomach too. My consult is August 1. Has anyone had this done? I had been interested in an endoscopic stoma-reducing procedure but the surgeon thinks long-limb will be better at my BMI (49). Thanks for sharing any personal experience you've had!

Hello. Kinda new here. My question is. How long after revision from a sleeve to rny could you lay on your belly comfortably? What about getting into a spa or pool?

I have a spa weekend/massage I won, the date is already set, I will be just 6 weeks after revision. Deciding to keep it and go or push my surgery out til after this trip

Thanks

Oh, I understand now. Thanks!
