Hi, anyone here get a revision from sleeve to gastric bypass? I was sleeved in 2010 and lost 120lb. Now I'm up 35lb but would love to lose 50lb. My body's metabolism is the way it was before the sleeve (I still have restriction) but can't lose a substantial amount despite regular exercise and watching diet. The weight slowly crept up and Iv been playing with the same 10lbs for the past 2 years. I don't have gerd at all, I'm doing this for the added restriction and weight loss. I'm curious of others results with this. I'm skeptical bc online I'm seeing that with a second surgery an average weight loss is 25lbs. That's not very much for such a drastic and costly surgery. Would love to hear your results.

Hi, I am in the same place you are! Sleeve surgery, lost 130. Some regain, and would love to lose at least 50 and keep it there. I am waiting for insurance approval now. People are only loosing 25?? I am still deciding if I want to do the bypass. I am scared of it.

Hi, I can relate. I started my liquid diet yesterday, and I'm already feeling deprived. And I have a bad headache. For me, the hunger is worst at ***ht. On here, I've read others comments, saying how we should be glad we can drink things down with now trouble. Because after surgery, even that will be hard for awhile. So I am trying to keep that in mind.

Are you on restricted calories too? I can only have 800 cal. a day. Three protien drinks, some V8, and a cup of non fat pudding. My surgery is on Aug. 15. When is yours?

Hi All,

I am new here, and have not had surgery yet. Question: What the heck is "pain ball" and "drain"?? Seems I still have things to learn. I will have surgery on Aug. 15. Please let me know, so I can be prepared. I guess Doc is waiting to spring the details on me.
