Excited but nervous! I will be having a revision from the sleeve to the Loop/SIPS. My surgeon will be removing my gall bladder, fixing my hernia and then doing the Loop DS. Has anyone had all 3 of these done together? It just seems like so much! Thanks! 😊

Hello, my surgeon is dr Ayoola in Denton tx... I didn’t have to wait for insurance approval since I am disabled and on Medicare, pre-approval is not required. I am a diabetic and the sleeve did not help me at all, also regained half of what I lost. I am so excited but nervous as well! The sleeve was a breeze, so Hoping this is just as easy.

So true!! I thought about that too, I would hate to have to be put under again!! Thanks for responding!!

Looking for feedback! Trying to make a decision!

Hello, I am in DFW Tx and have surgery date in April with Dr Alibhai and Matin, I am still trying to decide which surgery I should do! I will be a revision from the sleeve, I have type 2 diabetes that are out of control ( 4 insulin shots a day) can you please tell me if you regret whatever surgery you did or any issues?

Awesome! How far out are you and how has weight loss been? Are you a revision? What city are u in? Did you have any co morbidities? Sorry for all the questions!

Thank you! I found it!

Looking for patients for feedback..I am a revision from sleeve and trying to decide between Loop and DS

I couldn’t find a DS forum on here.. not sure what I am doing wrong, I am using the app

I did this surgery to resolve my diabetes and that never happened. I chose the wrong surgery, my surgeon even advised me to do the DS or the Loop DS. Everyone is metabolically made up differently, and therefore the outcome of the surgery is different for each person. My A1C is now worse than it has ever been, so yes.. I regret having the sleeve.

Hello, just looking for someone that’s going through their weight loss journey or already had it done, similar to mine. I guess a support person, only my fiancé knows I am doing this, but he doesn’t have weight issues, so I am feeling alone. I had the Sleeve 2 years ago, February 10 2016, my starting weight was 276 and about a year and a half out I was at my lowest weight, 198. I then found out I was pregnant and miscarried 2 weeks later at 8 weeks. Since then I have gained 30 pounds back, emotional eater. The sleeve didn’t resolve my type 2 diabetes and is much worse now. I met with a different surgeon last week and he thinks my best bet is to have the revision to the Loop/SADI. Has anyone done this and is happy with it or regrets it? I would love feedback, I just want to be healthy and not have to use 2 insulin’s 4 times a day. Thanks for listening. Sorry so long.

Hello, was yours a revision from a different surgery or was sips your first surgery ?

Yes I totally regret it! I am 2 years out and regained all but 40 pounds. In the process of doing revision to the Loop DS. Should of done this in first place

OMG that’s awesome!! You should be so happy! That’s a lot of weight to lose in less than a month. Stalls always happen, just hold on and push thru it!

OMG that’s awesome!! Can u tell any difference from how the sleeve felt when u first got it done? Any advice?

Ohhh no, I had my esophageal hernia fixed during surgery. I hate that acid feeling that comes up! Uggh

Aww.. what happened with your sleeve? My dr told me just some people don’t do well with the sleeve because it all depends on your metabolic makeup.

Hello! Thanks for responding, he recommends the SADI because he said it has greater weight loss than bypass and much better success rate in getting rid of my diabetes
