I noticed you had a vsg to RNY revision surgery a couple of years ago. I may be faced with that decision due to GERD. My first appointment with a new bariatric surgeon is in three weeks. I was cash pay with the vsg., if the doctor does recommend revision, any idea about insurance? Our ins doesn't cover WLS, but if this is a medical reason surely they will. If you did it for the same reason, did it help? Did you lose additional weight. What were the main differences between sleeve surgery and RNY? Dumping? I think a deterrent might be a good thing for sweets and fatty foods. Any advice and details would be greatly appreciated. Is this going to be a process to get insurance on board? Any regrets?

Thank you in advance!

I'm curious as to what you decided to do, and if you went through with a revision, please tell me what it's like reflux wise. Did you lose weight or are you able to maintain? Recovery time etc. Thank you in advance!

For me the only thing that matters is the surgeon performs like a rock star the day of surgery. No one else matters.

I was 100% sure with my surgeon.

Did your surgeon provide guidance on what you should be eating. Not sure what you were expecting. but you're barely one month post op so to say the sleeve has failed might be a little premature.

Tell us what you're eating and we can provide some advice.

Credentials, recommendations, mortalities, and personal preference. I liked that my surgeon wanted to see me following surgery plus every year thereafter, we set goals, and she provided a binder of all my before and after care needs, phone numbers etc.
