has anyone had a gastric bypass and go back to original anatomy. My max weight was 315 I am currently 135 and have to work hard not to lose more than that. I am malnourished in every reguard I have been working with my new surgeon since July but insurance company been giving me issues I think I got that part straightened out we will find out if they don't cancel my upper GI scope on the 23rd. It's that I don't want to eat meat it's I take one bite and can't seem to eat more. I can eat chips, cookies, brownies, chocolate, pie, ice cream with no problem but other foods I can't do it. I want to eat steak and smoked pork so bad I have put it in my mouth and sucked on it just because I love the taste. So I'm just seeing if anyone has had a full reversal and what was there recovery, did you need to do anything special prior to surgery.
My VSG was in May 2014. I revised in July 2016 because of severe GERD. I haven't had any issues with malabsorption. My GERD was greatly improved because of the revision, but it did not fully resolve. I'm still on a daily PPI.
Hey there,
I'm 13 years out from RNY and lost 100 pounds. 2 years ago I started gaining it back. I went to my surgeon and he referred me to another surgeon who does the Overstitch procedure. I was approved and am having it done in a few weeks. I don?t know much about it as far as recovery, diet afterwards and all I've read is mostly info that?s a few years old. I know the success rate is iffy, but I believe this will give me the oomppff to get back on track and live the lifestyle I should be. I swear I wouldn?t ever go back to this and now I?m here again and miserable. I need this change and any info or experience anyone has had would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!

Thanks for your response to my post. I think that there should be a difference as well. After all, having the sleeve probably prepared me as well as the nutritional counseling for the last six months.
Thanks,

Thank you! I didn't really see the liquids only as necessary but it was what I had read. I love my carbs but definitely need to limit them a lot!
I've been up and down on my weight since this started. My original date of surgery was 2/5/05. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money for a revision. I didn't know if it was maybe considered a "health issue" they would pay for it.
I just had a revision to my bypass with another bypass on Thursday. In post op pain and drugged a bit so pardon my typos. It's great your surgeon is t trying to scam you with a band over bypass or some nonsense. Revision from bypass to bypass is the best! So far I'm doing great, apparently my first surgeon left me with a pretty big pouch. What questions do you have? I will check in after my nap, lol, I'd forgotten how exhausting this is.

My surgeon said the band over bypass is a complete waste. Turns out my first surgeon did not give me a small enough pouch, so he went in. Gave me a new tiny pouch and reattached the intestines to make sure I had the 130cm removed that they recommend. Anything where they stitch the stoma or staple inside the stomach is a scam. Nothing works except another bypass. Occasionally you can get a DS

I've rarely met someone with sleeve who didn't eventually go to bypass. The intact small intestine makes all the difference in the world. You're going to be so glad you did it, the weight will fall off compared to your sleeve. Good luck.

I had my pouch redone on Thursday, my first doctor did not make the pouch small enough. I had slow loss and eventual regain. Now I have a tiny pouch and hopefully it works this time. Insurance did not pay, they usually won't pay for any revision even if it's medically necessary. The total cost was 18k and well worth it! I finally feel that restriction everyone talks about.
