Band to sleeve to bypass

Has anyone gone from band To sleeve to bypass.

I lost heaps of weight with band but had to get it removed, was replaced with sleeve and i have lost nothing. I struggle to keep weight off. Looking at bypass next year, i am hoping all excess will come off.

There have been a few individuals that post on this website that have done it (band To sleeve to bypass). Normally their motivation to go from sleeve to gastric was because of severe acid reflux (Gerd). The sleeve only makes the condition worse. I haven't heard of anyone doing it to lose more weight.

You might want to investigate why sleeve surgery has not worked for you. Whatever prevented you from losing weight after a sleeve may also apply to gastric bypass.

I went to the doc thinking of getting the sleeve. My doc recommended gastric because of my 20 year history with GERD. He said the acids sit in the bottom of the stomach and gastric bypass resolves the issue.

Current surgeon said i should never have had sleeve. I need malabsorbtion and restrictions.
