I know this reply is over 5 yrs late but I thought if your having the same problem you it can help you and if not it can help others with a similar problem. It sounds like you have SIBO, small intestine bacteria over growth. They usually the treatment of choice here in the USA is Rifaximin antibiotic, but because gives a hard time covering it Metronidazole antibiotic is usually used to treat it. There are also alternatives to Metronidazole like Augmentin (Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid) and few more antibiotics can also be given to treat it. The fact that you were given a short course antibiotics and it made your symptoms go away for a while and that people who have had the gastric bypass are prone to getting SIBO all points to you possibly having SIBO. Your GI Dr. needs to order a hydrogen breath test to confirm this diagnosis.

How has your recovery been going after your revision from sleeve to the bypass? Are you happy with the outcome? Have you experienced any complications ? Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok, I just checked bmi of 25 is border line overweight or slightly overweight. Bmi of 24.9 is normal weight or healthy weight. Most of us on this app would die to be a bmi of 25, i had the sleeve in 2019 and I am a bmi of 30.5. Most places in Mexico have a minimum bmi of 30 plus a comorbidity to do surgery. I did my sleeve in Mexico, my bmi was 35 at the time of surgery. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ummmm, bmi of 25 is normal weight. I don't think anyone in the world would perform bariatric surgery on a bmi of 25. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much for the reply. I got the sleeve back in june 2019, I never felt real restriction, for the past 3 yrs I have been thinking its all in my head. I got an endoscopy done last week to find out I have a small hiatal hernia and my sleeve is " the body of my stomach is markedly enlarged". After I got these results back, it all made sense, my sleeve was not tight enough from the get go. I have mild gerd. Will my mild gerd and small hiatal hernia disqualify me for a resleeve? I was never able to reach goal weight the first time around and I have gained 17 lbs since reaching my lowest weight after the sleeve. I am 3 yrs out now. How much did you resleeve cost and who was your surgeon at mexicali? When did you get the sleeve reconstruction? Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
