Has anyone had LapBand to Sleeve then converted to Bypass?

[RxtineVsg 1]

In 2009 I had the LapBand, in 2013 I had it removed due to issues. I decided to get the Vertical Sleeve Gastrostomy.

After many issues, I saw a surgeon today, She said my issues may never end. I have two choices. To stay as is it, and deal, or try. Or to revise to Bypass and possibly have some improvement, OR remain the same. She mentioned because this would be my 3rd surgery, I have a HIGH chance of complications. I am just wondering if anyone has had all 3 procedures?! At this point it isn't about weight loss, HOWEVER, I want to, but its about my general health and my quality of life.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I've haven't experienced the sleeve but I did just revise to bypass. I would look in the band to bypass section. I believe there are some member who have had all 3 surgeries.

I had the band in 2008 and then had it removed in 2012, my surgeon made me wait 6 months and then did bypass. I don't regret any of it. I actually have been a slow looser after my bypass but they told me to expect that. I couldn't do the sleeve due to "where" the lap band did the damage.

I just posted a similar thread. I am considering RNY after VSG after Lapband. :-(
