Relentless bile reflux / pain

I am out 8 years from having a Sleeve. I Have had 3 endoscopes over the past 3 years due to severe restriction with foods and swallowing. I have severe stage 4 esophagitis and bile acid in my pouch. I take Dexilant which stops the burning. I also have a hiatal hernia. I have a stricture in my esophagus as well which has been stretched during the endoscopes. I still suffer from nausea, vomiting and regertation of foods. I gained 52 lbs back after losing 95, I do understand that the weight gain may or may not have contributed to my current health status. I have made dietary changes and I have lost 18 lbs. So that is good. I have counseled with my primary Dr. and then with my local gastrologist. Both recommended me to the Mayo Clinic to meet with a Bariatric Dr. After meeting with Dr. Madura at the Phoenix clinic. I am proceeding with a revision surgery to a gastric bypass. I read those of you who have continued to have gastric issues after a revision surgery. I would like you to share your stories with me. My surgery is coming up soon. The Dexilant controls the acid burn but regurgitation continues to be an issue . I am really concerned about this decision and would like to hear from those of you who have successfully converted to the gastric bypass

There is a great book about this lady who have gastric bypass and she goes into detail on how she deals with her gastric bypass and issues with regurgitation and other things. She is an inspiration and a great resource for recipes and foods that are tolerated well: Before and after by Susan Marie Leach.
