Hi I had my revision Monday 11/2. 11/3 was horrible. Not as easy as the sleeve was and I’m starving lol I cried, my nurses (2) sucked and I was in a lot of pain! More then before way more but today is day 5 post op and I’m better. My incisions started to get infected bcuz I had a rash from the dermabond so I had to Peep it off and now I’m on a horse pill antibiotic. I’m already dropping weight. I only felt a little acid last night when I had Greek yogurt. My doc gave me a diet plan to follow from day 3-16.

I spoke to nurse and doctors they said just from when they propped open my mouth for the prosecute. The anesthesiologist must have dont it and it will go away. It’s so painful.

Hi! Just got out of a do over. Sleeve to bypass and he also made my sleeve smaller. Anyways anyone ever have under your ear by your neck hurt and get swollen? I was thinking maybe when they put me to sleep I was clenching my teeth? Odd. It’s swollen and hot now. Waiting for message from the PA.

Hey oh I live in SD too work for Scripps I know how crazy it is there for you no worries! how exciting that’s a lot in 12 weeks!! Yay that makes me happy. I just lost 11 pounds in my pre op diet so far. Day 9. Wish me luck Monday! Thanks for the reply!

Circlesis how much did you gain over the 6? I’m at 6 years as well. And have you lost any weight since?

Woohoo thank you! Yes starting to lose now I’m sure you will get there! I’m 225 and hoping to get to my lowest 171! Good luck and my thoughts are with you! You got this!

Jean! I have my surgery scheduled 11/2. I met with my surgeon last week and he said as long as I stick to my no carb, protein and physical activity I will lose the weight and go back down to my lowest. Today is my first day no coffee and I’m dying but ready to get back into track. I also follow some on IG that has revision for weight loss and she said it takes longer but possible if we follow the diet and don’t go back to our old habits. I totally know how much this sucks to have come so far only to gain lol but we got this!!!

@Latanya oh okay yes I gained back most but not all. I hear we have to chew a lot and it can get stuck. Hmmm. How much have you lost since your bypass?

@dorkyfaerie oohhh okay thank you so much for your reply! That’s really good! So like 60-65% of what you should be according to the bmi chart?

Oohh but that’s still good! are you following the diet the dietician gave you?

Same! 280, then sleeved 2012! 5 years later gained 50lbs now I saw my surgeon n he said the revision will get me back down but I’m reading others say they didn’t lose after or just 20. How are you doing

Hi all. Looking for anyone who went from sleeve to bypass for GERD but also to lose weight too.

Hi all! Is there anyone here who got a revision from sleeve to bypass and lost more weight? If you did, did you gain wait after sleeve? My HW 280, Lowest sleeve weight was (2013)171, (2017)180 after 5 years, (2019) 190 on my wedding day and now w GERD and quarantine I’m 230 I get my surgery date this week for bypass. Are there any success stories of going back down to your lowest sleeve weight? I’m excited to no longer have to take omperozole but do want to lose and get back down to 170.
