Revision from VSG to Gastric Bypass

Mar 15, 2017

I had great results with the VSG but encountered dificulties about 2 years years out. At first the weight gain was slow then even after correcting some diet issues it continued. I think this was in part due to a medication after the medication was changed I started to lose again. I ended up with large hiatal hernia, severe GERDs and an hourglass shaped sleeve. The spasms and reflux has been so bad that I have had difficulty eating and sleep upright most nights. After two GI's and Two surgery consults everyone agrees the best solution is to convert to gastric bypass. My surgery date is April 5th, 2017.  I've already lost most of the weight again, but continue with reflux and difficulty eating enough. I will be glad to have the surgical correction completed, but feel a little nervous.
