Revision from sleeve to bypass



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve in 2010 lost about 3 stone put some back on and had the bypassAugust 2031 I'd lost 45 lbs from Aug to Nov not sure what I've lost yet until I go back in March to see the Dietician but feeling good this time , the surgeon told me I'd only lose 3 stone but lost more than that I had to stay in hospital for 4 days because my sats kept dropping and I did three up blood the morning after but once that was up I was fine no regrets , good luck to you all ,

Nothing crazy but very different. Eating is a challenge, getting enough fluids is a challenge taking supplements is a challenge. I'm struggling. I've been severely dehydrated about a month ago. I should have gone to the ER but they're full of Covid and the wait is HOURS literally. I drank Pedialyte unflavored, added grape juice, chicken broth and milk. It too four day to get through the vomiting and severe headache, but I still haven't fully recovered. I need to get a handle on this. I'm so glad to be through with reflux and the non-cardiac chest pains from the hernia, but dang, I want to get past all this other business!

Just reading up and I’m pending revision surgery for GERD and hiatal hernia. How are you doing now. Praying things have improved for you.

Hi all. Just looking for some input from anyone who has had a revision from sleeve to bypass and if their tolerances have changed/unchanged.

I’m on this site now because I have surgery coming in June. Sleeve to RNY

also repair for esophageal hiatal hernia.

I could also use to lose a few regain pounds.

I was sleeved September 2012, went from 225 to 147 now at 176.

Thank you for responding to my post.
did you have more nerves for your revision surgery? For some reason I have more anxiety for this one as opposed to my sleeve.

No not really but I think the pain was a bit worse but was out of bed a couple of hours out of my OP but did regret it the day after thinking what have I done but would do it all again now xx

Thank you, I’m getting a bit more relaxed. I don’t want to blow the chance of making solid changes that I will commit to now.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
