Revision from sleeve to bypass

[A_new_sara 136]

I'm looking for some information on those who have had a revision from sleeve to bypass. I'm 5 months post-op from my vsg surgery and my stomach has severe stenosis and two strictures along with gastroparesis. They are unable to treat it with dilation so I'm going in on Monday to have a revision. I just don't know what to expect. Is there anyone out there with any advice?

I havent had it done personally, but ive been in on many sleeve to bypass revisions. And honestly its not much different than somebody having a bypass for the first time. With a sleeve basically part of the bypass is already done, so it should in theory be easier for a surgeon to do a bypass on a patiet with a preexisting sleeve. The fact that youre so lean should probably make it even easier.

I on the other hand dont know much about the strictures and stenosis and cant help you there.

But I would imagine your experience will be very similar to anyone having a bypass, with the exception that youre gonna get a lot of confused looks because youre pretty lean
