I’m so sorry i know how horrible it is. I had the VSG October last year, lost all the weight but by my 4th month i couldn’t take the pain from GERD Dr had me on so many medications for it but nothing worked. I am now a week post conversion to Bypass no Gerd anymore. Best decision ever. I hope you can convert soon ?

Hi, i had the sleeve on October 6 last year, i lost all the weight and more. Unfortunately my Gerd was so severe i had to convert to bypass. I converted August 23rd so far so good. From what i know there is not a non surgical way to convert to bypass or to get a sleeve revision. I have a friend who had the sleeve and for following certain life style changes gained all the weight back she than got the bypass. She lost all the weight and has kept most of it off, she does struggle a lot and wishes she was more mentally prepare, she believes she wasn’t mentally prepare to make some changes and that has affected her progress both times. So i would say talk to your Dr and see what the best option for you is. Best of luck ?
