I'm 62.had revision to bypass from sleeve in Fall of 2016 .Doing great and lost another 62 lbs.

I had gastric sleeve in 2011.Then severe gerd later.Had bypass 2016.Went to DePaul.Dr.Morales.Have never regretted it.I have lost a total of 110 lbs from my heaviest.

I had some flushing,my Dr said too many carbs and if you drink any alcohol can cause this.

I converted to bypass from sleeve 2016.Have done well.It is a little slower in recovery.Also more time to take care for sure chewing really well and eating slowly.I have lost another 62 lbs.I'm happy I did it. They also redid hiatal hernia.No reflux,no complications.

I had Gastric sleeve in 2011.Went from 290 to 220.Then gained 20 lbs back.Due to severe acid reflux and failed hiatal hernia I had revision to bypass in fall of 2016.I have done well with no complications.I was 240 when had the revision now I weigh 182.So happy I had it done.This was with our exercise.Now trying to add exercise to lose more.

My dr said to take vitamin C with my iron .I take Vitron C.Had sleeve 2011 and bypass Nov 2016,This has kept my iron levels great.

I had the sleeve in 2011 .Due to severe gerd,I had revision to bypass done Nov 2016.I wish I would of had that done first.I feel great and no issues.

I had sleeve in 2011.Then had severe gerd.Had bypass in Nov 2016.I would just have bypass.If you have sleeve chances are you will need bypass later.

I had my revision in Nov 2016.you do start the phases of diet.My diet pre op was only for 1 week.I have lost 52lbs.

Had the sleeve 2011 and revision to bypass Nov.2016.Down 52 lbs.

Congrats,Good job.

I have my revision to bypass in Nov.I had a little more pain but they had to fix the hiatal Hernia again too. Recovery a little slower but not bad so far I have lost another 46 lbs.I had gained 20 back from the sleeve, which was from 2011.I couold of lost more if I exercised more,but I'm happy and still losing.Good luck.

After my paper work was submitted it was denied the first time,because insurance thought it was for weight loss.My Dr.did a Peer to Peer with insurance to make them understand it was due to acid reflux. Didn't take very long at all. Good luck at getting approved.

I don't know how far out your are from surgery,but it gets better as your body adjusts.Eating sugar and fats will make it worst.So stay clear,not on our diet plan anyway.

I went to couple Disney parks when I was 2 1/2 months out.I was able to eat salad,grilled chicken,shrimp.I did take some protein shakes to make sure I got my protein in.At Hotel had scrambled eggs and brought some of my greek yogurt.Most hotels have yogurt high in sugar.Just make sure you drink all day or you will dehydrate quickly.I know we hate to buy water but dehydrating is a lot worst..Most hotel have fridge and Microwaves so I would get some food I could eat and keep in fridge.
