Anyone have a revision from sleeve to bypass

I haven't, but I am interested in what happened to go from 1 to the other. There are a bunch of reasons (heartburn being a big 1) , just curious.

I’m curious... I’ve seen many posts of people going from sleeve to bypass. Can I ask why? The sleeve is so popular now that I’m quite surprised at the number of people who end up going to a bypass later on. I am not a candidate for sleeve due to GERD so bypass for me. But the sleeve was what I wanted.

I have structure that can't be corrected with dialation or a stent. Below the stricture, I also have twisting of my sleeve. Bypass is pretty much my only option to get food in and stop vomiting all the time.

Many people do the revision due to developing severe GERD post sleeve surgery. Bypass resolves the GERD.
