Anyone gone through this? Despite a second surgery after SADI to add a Braun anastomosis, I am still dealing with bile reflux. EGD this past week confirms, and surgeon is willing to discuss a conversion to a traditional DS. Otherwise, I’ve had great success with SADI and am maintaining a healthy weight. What have been your experiences? What are potential pitfalls or things to consider?
 
Welcome @Wenshop
A revision from a SADI to a Traditional is rare on here as most have the traditional already. But other than going through a second surgery and as a result having to go through the food progression again, the only difference long term is the amount of fat you will need to eat to stay healthy as a traditional. We malabsorb much more fat than the SADI does.
