My dr would not do a sleeve revision because your cutting through scar tissue and the staples would be in that scar tissue. With the bypass you have a greater chance of healthy tissue to reattach to. I am a month bypass today and have lost 38 pounds. The bypass has saved my life. I have not experienced dumping yet. I have to constantly remind myself to eat because I am not hungry. I wish i would have done bypass in the first place.

My revision from band to bypass is scheduled for 15th August. Currently doing pre-op diet.

Hi all, I'm sharon & am thinking about having surgery. I'm doing a lot of research & all the information out there can be a bit overwhelming at times & leaves you with more questions than answers. i am finding the forums great as hearing from people who have had the op is an amazing source of information & hearing about the mental/emotional side of things is so important.
I'm from New Zealand, any other kiwis out there???
