Has anyone had a conversion from sleeve to gastric by pass ?

I'm 5 weeks out post op sleeve and from the very beginning I was very nauseas. My surgeon gave me Zofran and said it will take a little bit of time. I had to get use to my new stomach. Well 4 trips later to the ER with dehydration. And still nauseous they had to hospitalize me. I've been here 8 days and they had to give me everything through IV fluids including my protein. The only thing that helps my nausea is Phenegran by injection the pill form doesn't work for me. Im so miserable and unhappy with the sleeve. The sad thing is you dont know how your body will take it until you e had it done. I research this sleeve for two years before i decided to do it. Sadly I was not a good canditate for the sleeve. I'm now scheduled for gastric by pass for Monday. I would like some feedback and or words of encouragement in these difficult times for me.

I'm sorry to hear this and sorry for your pain. :( I hope the bypass resolves the issues...you might get better results by posting here:

Even though the technical category is band to bypass, there are some sleeve to bypass revisions in there. Best wishes!

Oh my goodness you have been through alot.. Sending prayers you way for quick answers to your health issues and the proper test to give the Drs the knowledge to treat you with compassion and proper care.

My Doctor is requiring me to get a Manometry study just to be safe of nausea and complications for gerd. If by any chance of me having band Should there be an issue he is leaning toward rny.

Take care sweety, big Hugz to ya!
