If you have GERD and nausea they typically will see what is wrong with the bypass first. It may be there is a physical defect with the surgery you already have, too. Did they want to investigate to see what was causing the issue when you called?

The duodenal switch is absolutely a choice post-RNY, but if it's GERD you have it won't necessarily help with that and you may still have it, if that's the main reason you are seeking revision. Further weight loss can often help with it, though. It really depends what is going on.

The RNY has to be converted to a sleeve for the DS, and that is a very major surgery that requires a high degree of skill, and it's best to choose a surgeon extremely well-versed in it. I don't know much about Shadle, but I know Dr. Keshishian has done them.

I'd first get an answer about what is causing the issue and go from there... ruling out something serious would be a first step DS or no.

Hi I had vsg 3/19/18. Ive only had complications the last 16 weeks. Converting to bypass this Tuesday. Just so leary of everything now. I'm just wanting to hear stories of others who had the revision done so early after vsg and what their post op experiences were. How were the few days,weeks,months?? Thank you ?? Please any help!!

Congrats!

It has been so long in 2005 I had RNY at 5'2 255

214 at surgery. Surgery went great had it done at Stanford Medical Center with Dr. Morton.

I lost a total of around 70 pounds. I occasionally had dumping syndrom. In 2009 was when l stopped losing I slowly started gaining. In 2011 had my son now 6yrs I had to be on a course of progesterone to prevent miscarriage was at 205 I developed gestational diabetes and at delivery I was 215.

In 2012 got pregnant with my 3rd and last child I developed hyperemesis and gestational diabetes on insulin 4 times a day and also a course of progesterone and anemia had venofer while pregnant and at delivery was 229.

After I had my now 5yr old son I began to struggle with sever nausea and vomitting and have been on antacid since then. I am now 245 at 5'2 I am pre-diabetic and developed patella femoral syndrom with joint pain. I recently asked my doctor for referal to Bariatrics for possible revision got a phone apptð??' with a doctor in the bariatric department and ahe basically said RNY is the last procedure they only revise from Lap-Band to VSG or RNY and if someone had VSG can only convert to RNY. I asked is this right? I mean in heart I knew she was not being honest maybr just for Kaise but I have read RNY can be converted. I decided to switch back to Anthem Blue Cross HMO the same coverage I had in 2005.

I found a doctor Benjamin Shadle for Sutter Medical Center Roseville. After watching his videos and reading tons of reviews I have hope.

I am nervous can anyone please share your revision story with me if you've had RNY. How long did the process take and if it has worked I have reading about duodenal Switch.

I appreciate any helpð?'

Thanksð?'?

For me as well , biggest mistake ever ! I think the maker should refund all the money people spent to get them and pay for their therapy too , for the longest I believed I was doing something wrong , really it was my so called "tool"
