What are the major differences between regular vs mini bypass? What is dumping? Do your bodily functions change forever? Has anyone had the Omega bypass reversed? Any info you have would be helpful. My sleeve has stopped working.

That is good to know. There is nothing in terms of studies that can tell the approximate effectiveness of this procedure. Pls let me know if you find out more.

Thank you!

How long was your recuperation before going to work?

typo post o.o? Did you mean post op diet?

I assume this is what is known as the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for those who have it as a primary WLS and not revision.
I can only give a perspective from a recovery point of view and with an Australian slant as practices may be different elsewhere.
There is generally no overnight stay in hospital in Australia. My doctors instructions include: two weeks pre op diet, one day clear pre op. On day of procedure and day following - no fluids/foods instead have iv infusions. Three day Clear Liquids, three weeks free liquids, one week puree and one week soft. Then typical diet with one cup volume while losing weight with focus on Proteins and veges. Portions to increase or Snacks when in maintenance mode.
Prior to procedure I was required to take nexium for one week and then three weeks following to lower stomach acid. Took a fairly strong anti-nausea tablet before procedure, and then two different types of anti nausea meds for three days after. I was fortunate, I only had some stomach cramps for up to three days.
Recovery has been great with the ESG, a lot of people are back at work within days.

Has someone had in Tijuana the Apollo Overstitch Revision for a prior gastric sleeve? I really want as much information re quality of medical care and cost and recuperation as possible.

Thank you!
