Hello everyone. New to BP and the forums. Just had my surgery on 7.31.23 - conversion to bypass. Had my original sleeve surgery 7 years ago and was able to convert to bypass because the GERD was so horrible for several years! how is everyone doing! Any surgery friends also in July?

New to BP, saying hello!
AmandaElder replied to AmandaElder's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It will do both. From my first surgery I lost 150lbs. I was happy with the weight I had lost. Still had a lot more to go but the heartburn was such a hinderance. Nothing like walking in the treadmill and eating tums at the same time just to get through :). I am feeling so blessed to have found a surgeon that specialized in revisions and took me seriously. 5 days post op and no reflux! -
Sleeve to Bypass revision
AmandaElder replied to Victorooni's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I’m on day 3 post op conversion to bypass from sleeve. Best decision of my life. I was living off tums and I have not had a single bit of heartburn. It does seem different some how, maybe because I’ve been through this before and know that the first few stages is a bit the bullet until my insides are healed. If anyone asked me, I would simply say, I wish I hadn’t waited so long to get the revision.
