Revision from sleeve to bypass question

[Starfish23 24]

Had sleeve in 2015 and my GERD got horrible and also developed hernia. Going for revision to bypass tomorrow. For those who had this revision from sleeve to bypass, what do i expect after surgery? Is it a harder recovery?

I had the same surgery and my recovery has been smooth thus far. I am 18 days post op. I am not eating any foods yet though so I can’t comment on that aspect

How long did you stay in hospital? Just overnight? They told me sometimes 2 nights.

I stayed overnight. I had to consume a certain amount of liquid before leaving. Some people have difficulty getting in the liquid.

I had my surgery on a Thursday at 7:30 am and left the hospital 2pm friday
