Will I be able to revise from a RNY to a DS??
I had an RNY in June 2009 and lost 120 pound. However, the last year has been very rough for me. Every single food I eat now makes me horribly sick to my stomach. Also I have esophageal dysmotility which means the muscles in my esophagus don't work together to bring my food down into my pouch (this is not a result of the RNY) I also have a floppy valve at the end of the esophagus. This all leads to a terrible build up of trapped air every time I eat or drink. It is so uncomfortable and I can have air literally blasing out of me for up to 2 hours after every time I eat as well as the severe naseousness. My life has become hell. So here is my question.....I weigh only 145 now.....will they approve me for weight loss revision so I won't gain the weight back???? I thought if I had the DS instead maybe I won't have the nausea and the air problem all the time and I could get my quality of life back. Any opinions would be much appreciated.
