I have a date! March 8, 2022. I’m having conversion to bypass from sleeve with hernia repair. I have an umbilical hernia, a hiatal hernia, and possibly a small incisional hernia. Anyone with the same date?

Congrats on getting the date scheduled and good luck with the procedure. Let us know how it goes.

Did you gain any weight from when you had the sleeve?

Do you mean immediately following surgery or a long time after the surgery?

I gained between 20-25 pounds after the sleeve because I simply didn’t let it work. I had way too much stress in my life and should have waited. I am back to my pre sleeve weight, but I have too much pressure and pain from the GERD. I’m confident that I would be able to continue losing without the bypass conversion at this time, but that won’t fix the hernias or the GERD.
