    so after many appointments testing and 3 doctors I finally found my 4th Doctor that gave me the right answers for over 1 year I've had issues with abdominal pain spasms uncomfortable all the time diarrhea which is probably a separate issue and pain with food especially liquids so these are the findings from a correct and accurate upper gi. 1. Concentric narrowing of the mid body of the stomach presumably secondary to the prior gastric sleeve procedure. 2. Demonstration of a small diverticulum of the gastric fundus. 3. Presence of a mild sliding hiatal hernia. 4. Presence of deep residual penetration without aspiration. his solution and suggestion is a bypass which should fix my discomfort n pain but probably not the "runs" he said there is no way to redo or fix my sleeve because its to risky and can cause more problems and it was probably done very sloppy although my stomach functions in time the sleve might become more distorted then it is now im very hesitant to do bypass it wasn't my choice to begin with i need to do more research on it anyone has info on sleeve to bypass please share so now my question is what unforseen problems will await me with this bypass 2-3 years down the road ? bypass vets please help

    no the original surgeon is no longer in my network and i would not return to them anyway ive seen 3 other doctors. and finally found one that is helpful and willing to explain things properly number 4 is a narrowing of the passage ways at the bottom of my sleeve "medical term of passage is duodenum and anti?"

    the sleve is new statement was made by my bariatric doctor he actually said they dont have enough data such as 10-20 yrs worth of information on sleve patients so after many appointments and testing doctor said i have IBS in addition to hernia, top of sleve has a pocket where food is depositong and bottom of sleeve has a kink his solution is a bypass it should fix my discomfort n pain but probably not the "runs" he said there is no way to redo or fix a sleeve because its to risky and can cause more problems although my stomach functions in time the sleve might become more distorted then it is now im very hesitant to do bypass i need to do more research on it anyone has info on sleeve to bypass please share im happy with my current size and wieght the bypass would cause more wieght loss geez what a mess apparently the experts say my issues are rare and not common but based on my research thus far many people have similar problems so where is the rareity hmmm so now my question is what unforseen problems will await me with this bypass 2-3 years down the road ? bypass vets please help

      Go heavy with the meat and green beans and leave everything else alone, especially if you do't know how it was prepared. Maybe take some low carb appetizers to the party and munch on those.

      Miss Mac's advice is spot on! You've got this! Use that self confidence, make good choices and let your sleeve work for you!

      We all go through up and downs. The most important thing is to remain positive and realize that we all slip up. You can do it!
