Vsg To Bypass, Not By Choice! Have You Heard This Happening?

[M2G 1,836]

I know of the reverse happening. I personally know someone who went in for bypass, and my surgeon found too many issues (not exactly clear on the issues) but basically he woke her up, told her she would NOT be able to have the bypass, and that the sleeve or band were her next choices. She choose the sleeve. I think it was mentally hard switching gears (imagine researching ONE type of surgery and ending up with another.) But he DID NOT make the decision for her. She had a day to mull over her choices (spent the day in the hospital, decided sleeve) and was sleeved the next day.

This sounds like a CYA type of thing, but it sounds unusual and I have not heard from anyone else that their surgeon has this as an option.

I know everyone signs a waiver and it is possible to wake up with a different surgery than you went under for - I have seen at least 2 sleevers who where scheduled for Bypass woke up with the sleeve due to stomach damage or disease.
