Any post-op sleevers revising to the bypass

[Titaniumsleeved2014 42]

Hello, all I'm looking for anyone that has underwent a revisional surgery from the sleeve to the bypass.... I'm currently in the process of trying to get insurance approval which I'm not really concerned with just would like to hear some experiences with this procedure

Irene revised due to uncontrolled reflux. I can't recall her screen name, it has diva and Irene in it - she is a great resource.

Hi there. I am in the process of revising from sleeve to bypass. I had lost 100lbs in the first year of the sleeve which was great but then immediately gained it all back. I'm now, right back where I started. Due to my insurance I have to do 6mo physician supervised weight loss attempt. 4mos left to go. I'm hoping I'll be able to revise in July.

Nice to meet someone that's going through this process I only lost 50lbs with the sleeve then my sleeve became non functioning I have a hustle hernia in my sleeve and an extreme case of GERDS that has caused me to have an erosive esophagus... Because I'm in such bad shape it only took my insurance 5 days to approve me I'll be revised on March 16th...I'm excited but terrified at the same time

Following. I had the VSG in 2012. I initially lost 125 lbs. I have gained 25 back. I have terrible reflux. I had an EGD on Friday and the GI doc said he expects to recommend a revision to the full bypass. I have no idea what to expect as far as eating differences, recovery time, and if it is possible to lose additional weight. My surgeon said he usually only sees a 15-20 lb additional weight loss from a revision. Thoughts?

I only weigh 110lbs because I revised from band to sleeve, but now I have a stricture (3months post op). Last night my surgeon did emergency dialation but said if it doesn't work he will have to do a bypass. When will this nightmare end? Is there anyone out there with the same problem?
