My story, I had the sleeve in July 2014 at 300 pounds, got down to 210 by July of the following year but have been stuck there since. Gain & lose the same 5 pounds no matter what I do. Have tried increasing/decreasing calories, switching up exercising, 5 day pouch reset - you name it I've tried it but I'm stuck and frustrated. It seems like my body decided 210 was the weight it wants to stay at. I never had the big weight loss from the sleeve like I expected. When people were dropping big weight in the beginning months, my was coming off at a snails pace. I also never felt like I had the tight restriction most people spoke about. When we started eggs, most were like "I can only eat a couple bites" and I could eat 1 without any issues and not feel full. I honestly didn't feel like I even had a surgery. I can eat anything without issues and more of it at a time than I ever thought I would be able to after the sleeve surgery.

So I'm not looking at possibly going for a revision from sleeve to bypass, but I have a couple questions for those that have been through it.

What is your restriction from the pouch like compared to the sleeve?

What was your starting weight when you had the revision and how much have you been able to lose since the revision?

Do you have any issues with foods after the bypass that you didn't have with the sleeve?

Do you regret the revision or happy with your results?

I don't have any issues with GERD, I'm just unhappy with my total weight loss. I appreciate any feedback you can give me.

What is your restriction from the pouch like compared to the sleeve?

I have much better restriction and it is much different than the sleeve

What was your starting weight when you had the revision and how much have you been able to lose since the revision?

I am now actually below mu goal weight I had surgery at 203.6

Do you have any issues with foods after the bypass that you didn't have with the sleeve?

Actually no issues at all I don't eat bread, Pasta or rice and don't intend to. I feel full quickly with Protein and have never had an issue with any kind of egg.

Do you regret the revision or happy with your results?

I truly wish I would have had the bypass in the first place. I have now been maintaining since January something I have never been able to do in all my years of dieting!!

I don't have any issues with GERD, I'm just unhappy with my total weight loss. I appreciate any feedback you can give me.
