I found out that my sleeve is twisted or I have a kink...however you want to refer to it. I am scared to death to be converted to the full sleeve now. I have never even hear of this happening and I can hardly find any info on the twisting. Has any one had this or know anything about it. or been converted?

Just wondering how you are? Did you have to have the bypass? My surgeon told me that every sleeve surgery is at risk of having to convert to a bypass if the sleeve is too small but her has never had to do it. I have never heard of it getting twisted. Pretty scary I'm sure. Hope you are feeling better!

I just saw this post. I had a twisted and kinked pouch. They placed a stent in my esophagus and pouch for 2 weeks and it fixed it. If the stent did not work, then they were going to convert my sleeve to bypass.

Hope you are doing well.

I am going through this same problem right now and I am lost, devastated . I am five months out from surgery and down over 100 pounds since surgery date, now weighing 146 and 5'9. It's rough. I'm have had several test done and am now being told that there is this new procedure which had NO NAME for it and has only been done twice where they think they can fix the problem. Any updates on your situation?
