Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately my bmi won't support that.

Topic: RE: Revision from Sleeve to RNY

Hi all. I'm Rhonda and introducing myself as I return to this site after starting a weight loss journey in2008 with a lap band. I was very successful with the band with the help of friends made on OH, until it prolapsed and had to be removed.

At that time, 2016, I had a gastric sleeve procedure after the doc said it would be better for me than RNY. The surgery did little to help address my diabetes or my weight. So now, with reflux that won't stop and many meds to deal with my diabetes, I have scheduled RNY for Jan.

I'm hoping to find out here more of what to expect upon recovery and for support through this 4th abdominal surgery. I expect no miracles. I am mostly concerned about my diabetes. I've had it a very long time as has my family. I just want to limit how much insulin I need and the belly expansion that goes with it. Of course warding off the neuropathy and other complications from diabetes are high on my hopes list.

Anyone here who has experienced revisions like this and able to tell me what to expect? All info is appreciated.

Thank you!
