I converted to bypass from sleeve because of severe GERD. Prior to surgery, my Dr. told me I was unlikely to lose any significant weight as a result. And he was right. I've lost a whole 11 lbs in the 6 months since my revision. Sorry I can't give you any additional information about revision for weight loss, but if you have questions about revision in general, feel free to ask.

@@Babbs thank you so much. I needed this because I have lupus and no surgery is better especially if I can do it myself with you guys support I really appreciate it

And by all means, I don't want anyone to discourage you from a revision if you feel that's what you need. But try going back to what worked before first, and see how it goes? Also, look into 5:2 Intermittent fasting (Google). That worked for a little bit of regain I had. I feel it boosted my metabolism again, along with a new exercise routine. Remember the rules of WLS?
Protein first
At least 64 oz of no calorie/low calorie fluids
Green, non starchy veggies and low sugar fruit like berris
Low sugar or white carb consumption (bread, rice, Pasta, etc)
No drinking with meals and wait at least 15-20 minutes after you eat to drink again
And I feel these rules help:
Low processed food consumption. Stay away from anything with 'ingredients' the best you can and stick to fresh stuff.
A little fat is good for you! Eat the butter, oil, bacon, Mayonnaise, full fat dressings and avocado's along with your fresh food diet. In moderation, of course. It also keeps you satisfied longer.

Get at least 10,000 steps a day any way you can. Playing with your dogs or kids, pacing your house in bad weather, a you tube exercise video, join a gym and walk on a treadmill. You don't have to kill yourself with exercise, just move more! Also, find ways to work your muscles.

Babbs you are right I am going to try. Thanks

Clc9 I didn't take it as being smart. I appreciate your input

I would go back to basics: lean Protein and vegetables. Cutting out any empty carbs, alcohol, and anything that slides down easily. Not drinking while eating. It may be that the steroids and depo shot are really messing with your weight, but in that case switching to a bypass wouldn't change that unfortunately.
Good luck to you. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic with my last post, I just meant that your sleeve is still there and they don't really stretch out so if it's not working you need to consider whether you are "eating around it" by eating stuff that goes down too easily meaning you don't get full. Another expensive major surgery won't fix your food choices when you already have restriction built in if you use it as intended.

I don't think sleeves stop working. People stop working their sleeve.
