Hello there!

I follow some people's post on YouTube who has had revisions due to GERD, and then some has been denied as well. The ones that have been denied has been though an appeal process. The doctors they have used knew the process very well, so I would suggest getting a doctor that knows the process and is willing to do appeals if necessary. I see that bypass has healed others. I too have horrible heartburn. Look on YouTube for others who had similar revisions. This forum does not get many replies. But I thought I would post because that is a concern for me as well

I go in this Thursday to determine if I have a hiatal hernia, if I have GERD, and how much my pouch has stretched. I think its called an EGD? But I will keep you posted.

I needed my sleeve converted to a bypass. Truth be told, I wish I had never done the sleeve and gone with the bypass, as the bypass would have been a better fit for me. Prior to the sleeve, I never had problems with acid reflux/GERD. By the time I had my revision, I was choking on fluid every night and waking up gasping for air. I took prescribed medications twice a day and it barely touched my nighttime problems. Everyone is different and you may not have a problem with reflux. It's hard to say.

Hi there Kay,

you can succeed with a rny. Just to let you know Ive been looking into a revision to my RNY in 2009. Its been gradual but weight is creeping back up. how are you getting your surgery approved.

Hello,

I have developed ulcers and erosive esophagitis and had the mini gastric bypass in 2008. Has anyone had had MGB converted to RNY and had the ulcers not return?
