RNY to VSG??
Hi- I had the RNY in 2010, had great success am down to just around 120 lbs, however had always been plagued by liver and pancreatic problems AFTER RNY surgery. Just came out of hospital where the CT Contrast ultra sound showed that stitches to my unused stomach were open and food contents were inside and causing fermentation and problems? I have appointment with Bari Surgeon on the 16th, but wonder if they can revise to a VSG for medical reasons or if they will just restitch the stomach? (I know these are questions for the surgeon just wondering if anyone had anything similar happen?) Weight is still good, just having tons of serious liver and medical problems due to the staple line failing? 
Warmly,
Jackie E.

So here is the full story....The staple line is INTACT and thankfully NO food is going down the remnant stomach or intestinal limb. Turns out I have severe "Sphincter of Oddi Disorder" (S.O.D) and I currently have a huge feeding tube in my remnant stomach. My Pancreas (and liver) are really screwed up and are not producing bile or transporting it down the digestive tract like they should. Sooooo
I will be having Stents put into the pancreatic and Liver bile ducts and the sphincter of Oddi duct. So more surgery for me (Yuck!) I am hoping that by Mid-late October I will finally be healing. (We have to see if the Stents are working and then slowly reduce the stoma where the large Fr Gastric Tube is placed and slowly make it smaller.) Thank you for checking up on me, and I wish ALL of you sucess in your journey no matter where you are!
Warmly,
Jackie E.
