4yrs out complications need sleeve to bypass need feedback help



Recommended Posts

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.

no the original surgeon is no longer in my network and i would not return to them anyway ive seen 3 other doctors. and finally found one that is helpful and willing to explain things properly

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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
