BMI 28 Gastric Bypass over Sleeve

Has anyone had a gastric bypass with a starting BMI lower than 30? I had gastric sleeve two years ago. I lost 40 pounds within six months, then plateaued, and then regained 10 lbs. I also have severe GERD. So, my insurance approved the revision to bypass (shocking/surprise).

My surgery is next week. When I started my pre-op diet I was at a 29 BMI, now I'm at 28 BMI. I'd like to hear from anyone who's had bypass with a low BMI, as I'm concerned with malnutrition and losing too much weight.

Wow. I was offered a free revision due to my esophagus not allowing food to go down well since surgery. It's super bad but I wouldn't do it with a bmi of 28. I wouldn't now of 30 ish. But goodluck to u
