Hi all, has anyone gone from having a vsg to a bypass ? I had my vsg done a year ago and it was not successful. So now my only option is to have a bypass revision.

If you don't mind me asking...How was your VSG unsuccessful?

I know of at least two other people floating around here who are having or had a revision from vsg to bypass but I do not know their stories.

I had lap band a yr ago. Lost 45 or so lbs. Was having lots o tummy pain and headache. Doc said I was at a 34 BMI and if I wanted a reversal now was the time. I had it removed on Dec 4 and bypass on Jan 9. From what I can tell I have had more pain than if I had just had the bypass right off..

keish_lorraine the reason I say it was/is unsuccessful is because I have only lost about 40lbs total (that includes 21 lbs lost pre op) I had the surgery a year ago.

KristinaRNY I hope they share their story with me...I am so scared of pushing my luck ya know....I am thinking of having it done by Dr. Joya in PV Febuary 11th, 2014.

Lovinglife thank you for sharing your story...I hope your pain subsides soon.

I had no pain after my VSG so I am afraid that I am gonna be in alot of pain this time
