Hi all,
I had a sleeve done in 2009 which changed my life! SW 250- 10 months later I was 151, settled in long term at 160! 7 yrs in I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and put on Lyrica which gave me 30 lb gain in 3 months. That extra weight has stuck with me since. I'm currently 186. My GERD is terrible now, I just had a Upper GI swallow test which showed a hiatal hernia and abnormal esophagus. I saw a weight loss surgeon yesterday for what I thought was discussion on nutrition and possible medications and he said I needed a revision to Bypass to stop the reflux from doing more damage.
Im terrified of going through this procedure again. The sleeve has become my normal. I eat small amounts but at 12 yrs out I dont have to really worry about what I eat (mostly healthy). Id love input from Bypass patients and especially anyone who has had the revision.
Many thanks,
Kris
