I went from the sleeve and had the bypass wed I'm so nervous about this change has anyone been through this... I had a lot of scar tissue they took out and revision me to the bypass bc acid reflux. .. I'm in so much pain

With my sleeve I lost 110 pounds and gained about 30 back my doctor said I should lose what I have gained plus more.. he said the eating and other things is different from the sleeve..I don't want to be sick

  • OK I haven't had revision. I went straight to bypass but let me say this - if you managed to lose 110 pounds with sleeve, you totally got this. A lot of the same rules apply (from what I understand).

i was advised by my (now retired) surgeon that if the Gerd that i have developed since being sleeved gets worse that i will have to be revised to a bypass. This scares me as i have already been through a revision from lapband to sleeve. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Wishing you all the best with your health xox

OK I haven't had revision. I went straight to bypass but let me say this - if you managed to lose 110 pounds with sleeve, you totally got this. A lot of the same rules apply (from what I understand). Protein, fluids, exercise. If you have not done so, get a meeting with your NUT ASAP. And I would recommend seeing a therapist to in order to help with the adjustment which sounds like it came on very quickly. Deep breaths. We have complete and utter faith in you. In fact, you can teach us newbies a lot! Hugs!!

@@teamskinny_keea - No wonder you are nervous! It took me months to get used to the idea of having bypass, so I can only imagine how you feel when you were told as you were going in to surgery in addition to the issues you had. I am really sorry that happened! But again, you can totally do this. Remember how you started with sleeve and then your NUT will help you with the transitions.

Did they not do endoscopy or barium swallow first? I find that odd that you would go in for exploratory surgery and come out with a bypass.

I had every test can think of but they did a upper gi the day before that's how that seen really where the acid was at I kept telling them it was going to my throat and it was
