Revision from Sleeve
The one thing I learned is that pain medication is important in the healing process. I have found that the progress you make in healing and honeymoon time are important in long-term time maintenance. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Progress 7 Weeks Out
I don't know how much this will help. My highest weight presleeve was 283 pounds(p) in 2014. When I got to the table, my weight was 243p. My lowest weight postsleeve was 181p. 2017 started gaining weight and really bad GERD. It took until 09/25/2023 to have revision. I am now GERD free and losing weight. I have no regrets. Fight for your health like your life depends on it, and that's what I did. Yes, sleeve to bypass. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have fault for my health for 5 years. Several doctors and countless tests concluded that the same "bypass" is my best option. Therefore, I am heading for that operation table on 09/25/2023. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

It's been a fight. However, I am just waiting for a call from the doctor's office. I pray that the years of pain, throwing up, and uslers related to GERD will at the very least lesson! I know it will be a two to three week wait after next Monday. I believe this is the best thing to improve my quality of life! I am scared, excited, and blessed! From sleeve to bypass here, I come.
