Anyone with revision from sleeve to bypass

[Nancysgastricbypass 6]

Hello,

Anyone out there with revision from the sleeve to the bypass or DS?

Yes, I had the sleeve in December 2012 and revised to the bypass on August 1st. I had severe complications with the sleeve and my esophagus was so damaged that I was heading towards esophageal cancer at 21 so something had to be done. I hadn't eaten any solid food since 2012 and was in so much pain constantly, I feel AMAZING now. It was SO SO SO worth it, I wish I would have done the bypass first and I definitely wish I would have revised sooner. I have zero pain with swallowing and no GERD at all, it's all kind of surreal since I was in pain for so long. I'm now on the pureed stage and am eating crackers and black bean Soup and just all sorts of stuff that I haven't been able to tolerate in years. Plus, I'm losing the weight like I originally wanted! I'm not sure what your reasoning for wanting to revise is but there are a few of us who have already revised and the general consensus is why didn't we do it sooner because we feel so great!

I wish you tons of luck

I had the sleeve 6 years ago but didn't help lose much weight, I ended gaining back the weight. I'm 6 days out weight is coming off since my tummy wasn't recut I'm healing faster.
