Hi, just wondering if anyone has had a sleeve revised to the bypass ?

I did. It was done to correct a sleeve leak.

Wow your the first and only response !!

I just had mine done on Feb 12th. I am in quite a bit of pain, finding it a little hard to breathe.

Did you have any pain or this much pain?

I have to have one because I have SEVERE reflux... I'm a nurse and I had no idea that reflux could be so bad. I have to have a revision because my reflux is so severe the only fix is to gave a bypass. It really disappointed because I already lost 100# and I don't want to lose anymore I'm afraid that I will get too low... and then how will I gain it back? Let me know your thoughts.

I would see where this would be a concern. I have seen people have bypass that don't need to lose as much and they go slow or don't lose much at all. Then people that have a lot to lose go real fast. I think this surgery had a way of regulating. Or maybe the surgeon does. I would certainly share your concerns with him. I will tell you my MD told me they preformed a gastric bypass on a 9 month old baby due to diabetes and I'm sure that infant wasn't over weight. .

actually i was revised from vsg to bypass and i had the concern and i have not lost much weight since the RNY but my reflux is gone!

What was your recovery time on that?

i wont lie. the RNY was rough. i ended staying in the hospital 4 days. i was very weak after. but it got better fast. i went back to work in 4 weeks

Can you tell me more about the reflux and how it started. I'm afraid that this might happen to me. Just got approved and on the fence about the sleeve.

i had severe reflux with the sleeve and had bypass in september. i was concerned also about losing too much weight and that hasnt happened at all to me

Did you have reflux before surgery? Did reflux just come after surgery?
