SEPTEMBER 10TH! I having a revision to bypass from the sleeve. I start my 2 week liquid diet 8/27. Good Luck and smooth surgeries to everyone!

Because of my weight gain and my BMI i was approved for the revision. I am also having my hiatal hernia re-repaired and my gallbladder removed. Both of which have been causing my a lot of reflux, nausea, pain and at times vomiting.

I am definitely not counting on that as a punishing tool. I meant that kind of tongue and cheek because i know i have a sweet tooth and I don't want to fall back into back habits. I asked because I am concerned about dumping syndrome mostly with carbs or hidden sugars. I work 7 days a week and with a hectic schedule if i grab something on the go I wonder how my stomach will deal. I am going to plan ahead and prepare ahead as much as possible, but sometimes just trying consider my new lifestyle and stomach in my very crazy work schedule.

Have you had any issues with dumping syndrome? I have a major sweet tooth so i want to stay away from sweets all together. When i get a taste of it i crave it all the time so best for me to avoid them all together, I almost hope for dumping syndrome with sweets as an extra deterrent.

Hi there! I had sleeve surgery 5 years ago. The first year was great. I did well and didn't have any complications. I lost almost 100lbs in just over a years, but was never able to hit my goal weight. It seemed like as soon as I got to the year mark my body stalled and I wasn't able to lose any more, and it was a struggle not to start gaining. I was eating right an exercising . It was like my body adjusted to the new way of eating and I slowing started to gain back. 5 years out and falling back in to back eating habits I have gained back 50lbs and I am struggling with severe reflux again. This had greatly improved after my weight loss and hiatal hernia repair with the sleeve. In September, I have going to have another hiatal hernia repair and revision to sleeve surgery to gastric bypass. Anyone else revised from sleeve to bypass care to share your experiences?? Advice? Thoughts? Warnings? Success? Complications?

I did want to ask. How long did you have to stay in the hospital after your revisions? 1 or 2 days?

Thank you all for your responses! I appreciate it! Please keep us updated on your revisions journeys and i will do so as well! I wish you all the best!
