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
