I revised from VSG to RNY because of severe GERD. If you're having acid issues, I would never revise to the DS. The sleeve is a high pressure system which exacerbates acid, since the acid has nowhere to go but up back into your esophagus. The DS, which keeps your sleeved stomach, won't solve that. IMO, revision to RNY gives you the best shot at curing your acid issues and dealing with your regain, since you'll add in malabsorbtion to the equation. I agree with others though, if you don't deal with the eating disoprder problem, a revision won't help on the weight loss front (although it will give you relief from acid) Also, please keep in mind that you'll likely lose the regain slowly even with the revision.
