Revision for vsg to bypass

[canadianchick 30]

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

[lynchdalynx 21]

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. .

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?
