I had my sleeve to bypass on Nov 22,2016.Been going good for me.I have no problems getting all my 64 ozs in and my 60 g of Protein in.I use Premier Protein from Sams or Walmart because it is 30 g of Protein in in drink.I progressed to soft diet after one week.I can eat 1/2 cup mash potatoes,or 1/2 cottage cheese.or cream of wheat.I eat slowly and use a baby spoon to help.take a bite wait a little while take another bite.Takes me about 15-20 minutes.

Hope everything goes as smoothly for you.

Hello Mili!

My doc recommended the RNY over Sleeve due to my type II diabetes. She said there is only a 70% chance of remission of diabetes with the sleeve vs. a 100% remission rate with the RNY. PLUS – no more acid reflux with RNY.

I, too, had my heart set on the sleeve until I had this conversation. Diabetes was gone by the time I got home from the hospital. Now my A1C is at 5.0!!

Hello, I've also gotten a revision from sleeve to bypass. How much weight loss is expected when doing a revision?

I was still losing from the sleeve because i was only 5.5 months out. My doctor said it could be 80-100 pounds more from that point.

Hi

I've had my gastric sleeve revision to rny gastric bypass four days ago. I'm home since yesterday but it wasn't and still isn't easy. It feels as though I've been punched with 5 umbrellas and I have slight diarrhea but no more GERD and I'm hoping it begins to get better from now on. Happy to find similar people for support. Strangely enough I've been asked to take Clear liquids on my first week, then full liquids like milk and yogurt then purred on then third week but I wasn't told I should take in Protein. Any feedback is appreciated thanks!

I know when I had the sleeve done the first week they just wanted me to focus on getting liquids in. Then after my follow up appt they had me start on Protein drinks. I was allowed to have them that first week, but it wasn't something I needed to focus on.

I am only 5 months out from gastric sleeve. I go on Tuesday for revision to gastric bypass. I'm very nervous. I had surgery in the summer so I didn't have to miss work (I'm a teacher). Unfortunately, with an hourglass stricture and a pouch above it holding my food, I am throwing up undigested food. I'm freaking out about the recovery. I only plan to take a week off of work because I'm still a newer teacher without a lot of leave. The note my doctor gave me to bring in states 2-6 weeks. Ugh! I had no pain after sleeve. They said it should be a similar recovery. It wasn't for you guys? We need our own forum for sleeve to bypass!!!

I am literall going through the exact same thing.. with the hourglass pouch/stricture.. I'm worried sick. My GI dr referred me to a general surgeon.. thoughts?

I have the same situation. I was sleeved Nov 2014 and I now have really bad acid reflux and heartburn all the time. Not sure how to go about seeing if I qualify through my insurance for a revision. I went through True Results and they aren't even open for business anymore. Really frustrating!!!

I also went through TrueResults but luckily I was able to continue with the same surgeon who did my original weight loss surgery. I was banded in 2009, then converted to sleeve in 2016, I’ve been suffering with GERD for the past several months. The next option would be gastric bypass. I’m a little hesitant but with the pain from the GERD I’m seriously considering the surgery. The pain gets so bad that I literally lay in bed in crying from the pain. The meds are no longer helping me and I was told that I have bile reflux that’s causing the pain. [emoji15]
