Conversion From The Sleeve To A Bypass ?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had a conversion from the sleeve to a bypass ? it's been almost a year since I have a sleeve done in Mexico, and since 1 month out I haven't lost anymore weight :( I am one of the unlucky ones who's metabolism is so slow and bad that I can't lose anymore weight. I've lost about 50 lbs in total (21 pre surgery). Now I don't know what my options are....I'm wondering if having a bypass would help. I am sooo sad and depressed that this has happened...I mean how life changing this surgery was supposed to be and all that money...and here I am stuck ! Please please please if anyone has had a similar experience or any advice - please hlep me out !!

Thank you !!

I have done really well with my sleeve. I'm wondering if you have contacted a nutritionist here. What kind of foods are you eating and how big are your portion sizes.... What was your starting BMI and do you know the size of the Bougie they used on your stomach. Perhaps we can get some answers to see where you are..... It is frustrating but first it would be helpful to have some of the info. :P

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
