I would love an update. My paperwork to insurance went in yesterday for revision from vsg to rny due to GERD. Keeping fingers crossed. I've regained 40lbs, but still at 49 BMI now.

Post updates if you are able to for those of us following behind :)

I don't think I would have done it given the severe severe pain that I had. Plus I had a hemorrhage and landed back in The hospital for a transfusion. My original surgery was 22 years ago. I regained all of my weight back after 17 years. I also know I would not be able to lose weight on my own as it would take years and for me to star e myself in 800 calories a day. Not sure i will lose much after this revision. Lots of risks and I've read horror stories from othere who have under gone 5-6 surgeries after their bypass. Do lots of research. Make sure someone will be there for you if you have issues and that they will immediately act on your behalf and take your complaints seriously

I had GERD. I had the sleeve done in 2016.
this year I started having pains in my abdomem.

Come to find out I had a hiatal hernia. I was referred

to my doctor. Now I am almost three months out. The recovery: NO APPETITE WHAT SO EVER! It was hard for me to drink a water and jello. My husband would go to Sheetz to get ice chips for because those were my favorite. I had for myself to sip on chicken broth or any clear both. That was for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Puree stage (which think we all hate) I did a little better because I could have cream of wheat and the protein shakes. Me n the shakes did not get along at all. I had to force myself to drink. I drank so many before surgery that after surgery but my body said oh hell no! Lol. Now I'm on a soft diet. Physically: you be tired you need help. I had an emotional breakdown.
