Desperate in Seattle

[Janine253 1]

Had gastric bypass revision from sleeve end of October and I thought I would have lost more weight. I feel I had more resistance with the sleeve with food than I do after bypass

can’t lay of my left side very long because I will have pain... feel weaker. Can anyone relate?? Give me some ideas please 🤷🏻‍♀️

Statistically the weight comes off slower with a revision. It DOES come off, just not as quickly. And I've heard a lot of people who've done revisions saying they felt far more restriction with the sleeve verses bypass so I believe that's normal.

I don't know why it's hard for you to lay on your left side or why you're still feeling weak. I'd most definitely call your surgeon and ask them for advice on what it could be and if it'll pass on it's own. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

I was weak and in pain for almost 7 weeks after my revision. I also had left sided pain. I brought mine up to my surgeon and he sent me for an upper GI with barium swallow. So definitely bring up the pain. It’s worth investigating.
