Converting from sleeve to bypass or plication

Wondering if anyone can chime in on a conversion from sleeve to either bypass or plication? Currently awaiting insurance approval for either one but wanted to know experiences some of you may have had with either one. My situation is that my sleeve pouch has dilated and also been getting GERD so my surgeon suggested plication or just getting bypass which he says will ultimately fix the problem but is all contingent on getting insurance approval.

Interesting, I have seen tons of people converting into bypass to resolve GERD that's not manageable by medications. I never heard of picliation though....I don't understand how it can resolve your GERD?
