Seeking Revision from VSG to RNY

[southernlady]

Well that is interesting because my surgeon performed 2 of my family memebers Bariatric Surgery which were DS and they have had great success. He also specializes in revisions. His name is Dr. morales and he is based out of St. Louis.

Ask them if you can see their operative reports. We’ve seen lots of supposed DS surgeons popping up in the last few years who actually do the SADI/SIPS/LoopDS and while that surgery is much better than the RNY, it isn’t the DS.

This list is ongoing from FB members of about 5 different groups. Each time a new one surfaces, it’s updated.

And no, I am not maintaining that one. It’s done by someone else completely.

As an FYI - it is possible to have GERD with the RNY. I had it. You might take a look at your diet to try to figure out the offending foods. You'd be surprised how much relief you can get once you figure it out. Common offenders: coffee, soda, cigarettes, tomato-related products, onions, eating too much, and eating too late at night or before bed might be some places to start.

I had to keep re-learning this one.
