I have found that my GERD is getting pretty bad too but I also feel that it is getting worse since I have had re-gain.

Where did you get it done? How is recovery so far compared the the sleeve? Did you have to get an endoscopy to check your sleeve before hand? Sorry for all the questions!! Lol

Congratulations on your journey. I am so glad to read that I am not the only one. My reflux was absolutely horrible. I stopped eating all carbs & sugars and it has helped drastically.
I look forward to more of your success story in the future.
I haven't had the conversion yet. I am finishing the requirements from the surgeon. I will be done on Wednesday with everything. I hope to have it this month.
What is a glass ladder? This is my 1st time hearing the term.
I think you are making a great decision. Definitely wishing you the best on your journey.
I just had revision to DS on 2/18... so far so good. Mine was mainly for bile reflux GERD that was severe. Weight loss will be appreciated though.

I am also curious regarding pass through.. I just revised from VSG to DS 2 weeks ago.. the first purée I had I was literally waiting to run to the bathroom. It ended up waiting until the next AM. I keep waiting for the 20-min mute miracle, but so far no problem. I am feeling sick after going, though.
I love hearing that constipation may be a thing of the past.

I had revision to DS for HH, but ended up not having a large enough HH to repair. The DS will be great for my GERD. I would also be concerned about proteins. If you struggle now, DS will further that problem?

YES! Anti-depressants...
i had DS revision on 2/18... I was on SR Wellbutrin for years. It was just 2 days ago I realized I was seriously not absorbing the SR product. I was literally withdrawing.... HARD!
I quickly got IR WelUtrin and was fine in 24 hours. My understanding is that any extended release is questionable, but that Wellbutrin is especially not absorbable.. I saw a couple studies.
Hope this helps.
