I don't know much about the sleeve at all but I had RNY in 2001. Before I had it, I had heartburn literally every night, since having RNY, I haven't had heartburn at all. Good luck!
is it true that when you have a revision weight loss is slower? I had lap band surgery in Feb 2008 and will be revising to RNY in February.
I saw the surgeon on Nov. 19th and when they saw the state I was in they got me admitted 6 days later and 2 days after that I was operated on. They said the stoma had closed (I couldn't even keep water down) and they did a complete reversal. I'm now almost 6 weeks post-surgery and doing really well. Pain is minimal, I can eat soft foods for now till I have my follow up which is the 10th of Jan. I'm so thrilled I can eat again but that is tempered with the knowledge that I'm going to need self restraint as the surgery reversed the stomach stapling and I could put weight on easily if I fall into bad habits. All in all I'm pleased!
Having mine tomorrow!

How did it go? How long did they keep you before letting you go the same day?

I had lap band revised to RNY Dec 20, 2018 My tastebuds are off. My coffee taste like warm water. Has this happened to anyone else?
yes, It happened to me and 8 years later it is still that way. It has to be very high quality and very well made coffee for it to taste good to me.

Hello,
I had RNY 7/2010 original weight 250, lost 80 pounds after RNY had of about 30 pounds also was having dumping, hypoglycemic episodes and was on monthly iron infusions. 7/16 had overstitch to reduce stoma size and keep food in pouch longer- dumping, hypoglycemia ended and did not need an iron infusion anymore also lost the 30 pounds I had regained and things were good...until the past 6 months when all these symptoms began to return. Dumping, dropping blood sugars and had to have an iron infusion also regained nearly 10 pounds. Went on December for an EGD and my stoma is enlarged again (not as much as prior to overstitch but too big) I am scheduled for overstitch again on 1/24/19. Not looking forward to the liquid diet but otherwise hopeful it worked great for me for 2 years and hopeful this time it will last longer this time - "Third time charm?!"
Hey girl. I am ok. The first three days was hell. I wanted to doe with the pain. Today is my birthday and I am depress. I really forgot how food and alcohol had became a major part of my life again. I don't know what to do. But I want to lose my weight and continue to be healthy. So I have to make these scarfices. I see how I gain weight back. I had the wrong prorties. But the is trully a reality check. And I am ready for it.
Checking in on you...are you okay? How are you feeling? Tried to wait a few days before checking in on you. I have been praying for you.
Veronica
