Sleeve revision to bypass

[sarah092080 0]

Hi, anyone here get a revision from sleeve to gastric bypass? I was sleeved in 2010 and lost 120lb. Now I'm up 35lb but would love to lose 50lb. My body's metabolism is the way it was before the sleeve (I still have restriction) but can't lose a substantial amount despite regular exercise and watching diet. The weight slowly crept up and Iv been playing with the same 10lbs for the past 2 years. I don't have gerd at all, I'm doing this for the added restriction and weight loss. I'm curious of others results with this. I'm skeptical bc online I'm seeing that with a second surgery an average weight loss is 25lbs. That's not very much for such a drastic and costly surgery. Would love to hear your results.

Hi, I am in the same place you are! Sleeve surgery, lost 130. Some regain, and would love to lose at least 50 and keep it there. I am waiting for insurance approval now. People are only loosing 25?? I am still deciding if I want to do the bypass. I am scared of it.

I just had my revision from sleeve to bypass 3 days ago. I also was in the same mindset as you as far as gaining weight. After 2 years of the sleeve i gained about 30-35pounds and also developed a hiatal hernia plus bad GERD and also my stomach pouch dilated very much. Feel relieved that the insurance actually covered this revision for me as they also covered my sleeve back 2 yrs ago. Bypass is the standard overall and the best option
