I went from the sleeve and had the bypass wed I'm so nervous about this change has anyone been through this... I had a lot of scar tissue they took out and revision me to the bypass bc acid reflux. .. I'm in so much pain

With my sleeve I lost 110 pounds and gained about 30 back my doctor said I should lose what I have gained plus more.. he said the eating and other things is different from the sleeve..I don't want to be sick

I revising as well do too Gerd and other issues. Please keep me posted on how you are doing. Your sleeve had a lot of scar tissue?

I had scar tissue everywhere he said... how much have u lost sense thwn

i was advised by my (now retired) surgeon that if the Gerd that i have developed since being sleeved gets worse that i will have to be revised to a bypass. This scares me as i have already been through a revision from lapband to sleeve. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Wishing you all the best with your health xox

I only lost 43lbs a year past sleeve. Got pregnant and gained it back. I have an angulated sleeve and a hiatal hernia. There is a lot to fix

[teamskinny_keea 70]

I lost 110 gained 30 I'm hoping to get back on track I'm scared now

[teamskinny_keea 70]

Yes they will try different meds 1st I just had a lot of scar tissue that was causing the acid. ..

OK I haven't had revision. I went straight to bypass but let me say this - if you managed to lose 110 pounds with sleeve, you totally got this. A lot of the same rules apply (from what I understand). Protein, fluids, exercise. If you have not done so, get a meeting with your NUT ASAP. And I would recommend seeing a therapist to in order to help with the adjustment which sounds like it came on very quickly. Deep breaths. We have complete and utter faith in you. In fact, you can teach us newbies a lot! Hugs!!

Yes I didn't know until they was pulling me back that I was having bypass ... I'm going to get in with my nut I'm on liquids until I go back to the doc in two weeks.... thank you so much I don't know why I'm so nervous

@@teamskinny_keea - No wonder you are nervous! It took me months to get used to the idea of having bypass, so I can only imagine how you feel when you were told as you were going in to surgery in addition to the issues you had. I am really sorry that happened! But again, you can totally do this. Remember how you started with sleeve and then your NUT will help you with the transitions.

So if you were going in for surgery, what kind if surgery did you think you were having?

They was going to see about my scar tissue and seeing what else was wrong

Did they not do endoscopy or barium swallow first? I find that odd that you would go in for exploratory surgery and come out with a bypass.
