4yrs out complications need sleeve to bypass need feedback help

so after many appointments testing and 3 doctors I finally found my 4th Doctor that gave me the right answers for over 1 year I've had issues with abdominal pain spasms uncomfortable all the time diarrhea which is probably a separate issue and pain with food especially liquids so these are the findings from a correct and accurate upper gi.

1. Concentric narrowing of the mid body of the stomach presumably secondary to the prior gastric sleeve procedure.

2. Demonstration of a small diverticulum of the gastric fundus.

3. Presence of a mild sliding hiatal hernia.

4. Presence of deep residual penetration without aspiration.

his solution and suggestion is a bypass which should fix my discomfort n pain but probably not the "runs" he said there is no way to redo or fix my sleeve because its to risky and can cause more problems and it was probably done very sloppy

although my stomach functions in time the sleve might become more distorted then it is now

im very hesitant to do bypass it wasn't my choice to begin with i need to do more research on it anyone has info on sleeve to bypass please share

so now my question is what unforseen problems will await me with this bypass 2-3 years down the road ? bypass vets please help

Did you have your testing done at the same place where you had your sleeve surgery? If so, are they willing to do the conversion?

I'm not sure what #4 is. Can you "splain it to me, Lucy"?

I'm so sorry you are having issues.

Hopefully with a wee bit more info, you will find some answers.

Prayers going up.

number 4 is a narrowing of the passage ways at the bottom of my sleeve "medical term of passage is duodenum and anti?"
