Hello,
there is a group on Facebook just type in sleeve revision to Sadi S YOU WILL CONNECT WITH A FEW PEOPLE WHOM HAD HAD THE SURGERY. I myself was considering revision from sleeve to Sadi s in Spain with the doctor who actually invented this procedure Andre Pernaute in Madrid Spain but reading all the review and the long term I've decided to go with a full Ds. What I learn is that the Sadi S is not long term it 5 years only then you regain no malabsorption like the full Ds wii give you. Hope this help you
I was in a lot of pain everytime I ate. I actually had my revision on March 9th.
Some are done in one surgery, but more often than not it is 2 surgeries, at least a few months apart.
Because the band causes damage to the stomach, it can be dangerous to do a sleeve through the damaged area. It needs to heal first.
Band to RNY is almost always done in one procedure, because the RNY doesn't need to go through the scarred portion of the stomach.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
I am meeting a new surgeon next month to discuss my band removal and revision options. I am mostly interested in the sleeve. I've never had reflux issues so I am not too concerned about that.
I'm wondering those *****vised to the sleeve from the band, was it done in one surgery? My band has been empty for 4 years. Hoping it can be done in one.
Please tell me how the Stretta procedure has worked for you!!
How is it going? Did you have the revision?
How is the revision going so far? I am so nervous of this process?
MarinaGirl,
So I called Dr. Keshishians office and he answered! I sent in the information form with my insurance info. I am praying that they accept. I thought about this long and hard. I was thinking about my appointment I had with the surgeon and him walking in and saying I have several options that I will need choose. However... after his talking about converting to the distal he gave me no choice to choose. He said I will approve you for the diatal I was like but I have done plenty of research and would like to get the DS and he looked at me in a shock and said you'd rather be in surgery for 4+ hrs vs 30 min.... no you should get the distal. I mean this is my life obviously the RNY failed I just cannot accept that. He does do RNY to DS but maybe does not do them enough.
We'll see ?
