Hi,

It has been a year since my sleeve and I feel like such a failure. I’ve only lost approx 40lbs since surgery. Will the liquid phase I’ve lost 80-90 lbs. While some might be happy, I have a LOT to lose. HW 430 lbs, S.W. 365lbs, current 320lbs and it’s remained there for 4-5 months. I’m so disappointed in myself and feel like I’ve failed. I have the option to get a revision from sleeve to bypass... has anyone done this? Is it worth it? I’m just worried I still won’t lose ?

Thoughts?

I haven't had revision but I'll be watching this thread closely. It's something I'm considering.

No matter what, please stop beating yourself up. That's not doing you any good. Instead, what if you treated yourself better than your best friend?

You're not a failure. You're not alone. Good luck.

I had this revision in May. I too lost very little with my sleeve & developed GERD. Since my revision 2 months ago, I lost 56 pounds. More than I lost with my sleeve (which was about 20 something pounds).

What was your starting weight? I had a revision from sleeve to bypass on May 30th, and I am only down 17 pounds, and getting extremely frustrated.

Preop highest: 260

Surgery day: 241

Current weight: 224

I am 28, 5 ft 4

You should look into the bypass, the sleeve didn't work for me due to surgeon error, but I am happy I got the bypass (even though i am not losing as fast as I hoped, if you see the above post)
