Does anyone know any data on this? I'm a big YouTube wls follower & I have seen a few ladies need revisions because of partial digestion? Like their sleeve stopped passing food through properly or something.

Never heard of it.

They could be referring to a stricture, which can happen with malformed sleeve. A good surgeon can correct it and a so-so surgeon will revise it to a bypass because he doesn't know how to correct it. (Always go for a second and preferably third opinion before revising for a defective sleeve, particularly if the first choice is the guy who did the original sleeve.)

she is one of the people, she also has b6 toxicity poisoning from taking vitamins.

I have a hard time trusting Youtubers.

Honestly looking though her videos she seems like hypochondriac and a little whacky.

I don't get why people have WLS and still are into every food fad and junk science that comes along.

Hi

I haven't watched that video or any others. My doctor shared with me that this happens to 10% of patients.

I unfortunately am 8 months post surgery and have being struggling with food intake. On average I eat around 300 calories a day. When I try to eat more it comes back up. My doctor just ordered me back in for surgery to have the Roux-en-Y to hopefully fix this issue.

I hope you find resolve with your issues. Sorry to hear your struggles. I researched or so I thought I did and had never heard of stuff like this until I was post op & following others journeys. One thing I see that's constant is that RNY is the only option for lots of these digestive issues.
