RNY to VSG Revision

Why don't they do RNY to DS?  Is that even possible and safer?  I haven't seen many RNY's go to sleeve.

Im not sure, she just said thats what her surgeon recommended. My Dr office did say that if you had problems with RNY that you can reverse to vsg or ds if you ever needed to. Im going vsg to start

I struggle wth the vsg. My restriction isn't that great. My doc wants to talk about revision to RNY. My cousin just had RNY a few weeks ago as well. That was her first and only hopefully, surgery.

I'm curious about your issues with restriction. My restriction isn't great either, but it didn't stop me from measuring and weighing my food and losing. Is something else going on with yours?

I never had to measure in the beginning and for a while because I could stop when comfortably satisfied but as restriction got looser then I naturally are more and didn't catch it right away. Then I admit I got frustrated and turned to comfort foods again like carbs. I should have had restriction for longer than I did so my surgeon just ordered an upper GI and endoscopy to look at things. But if I was 100% good at measuring and counting calories id never had needed the surgery. I lost 80 lbs very quickly but gained half back. So I kinda want the restriction again along with the first year and a half or so of the malabsorption. So I'm thinning about bypass. We shall see. Even with dense protein, I can eat more than I really should without hurting or feeling bad physically. He used a 40 b on me. So that's where I'm at right now.

Have they tried iron infusions?  Heme iron? Vita lady Michelle's gentle iron?  Are they taking iron with C?

 

All Best

My aunt has done infusions my mom isn't there yet. Not sure on the other things though

Hey, I am not sure this is still an active thread, but I am hoping to see if your aunt went ahead and went from RnY to VSG.

I am almost 10 Years out and have also struggles with malabsorption, lack of nutrients and minerals, have been severely anemic for the past 5 years and have had horrible dental issues.

I didn't know this was a possibility, but I have heard absorption is way better with VSG. It wasn't an option with my surgeon 10 years ago, so I'm hoping to get more info and see about a reversal.

Thank you!
