Has anyone had their sleeve revised into a bypass? Thoughts? Comments?

I did! My sleeve left me vomiting bile at random times, and had to be converted to a bypass to prevent the bile from getting into my stomach. With the sleeve my beginning weight was 318, and lost to 208, before I began looking for comfort foods. Regained to approximately 250. Then began losing again and was 231 the day I was converted to bypass. I'm now 168 (3 pounds from my goal weight)! And I don't vomit bile anymore!
I have to add: I knew going in for the bypass was another opportunity to "get it right", but knew I had to change the foods I ate, or I would be right back where I began! I found the ketogenic way of eating to be the way I want to eat, for life! Wish I had found it before ever having the sleeve done! But, I can't change the past! I can only change my future by the choices I make today!0 -
Thanks for sharing this with me. I have developed quite severe acid reflux from my sleeve, plus my weight loss has been incredibly slow. So my surgeon has asked me to think about a revision to get rid of the reflux .1

It's a terrible side effect for some sleevers! Hope you find the help you need! I can definitely sympathize with you on that one!1

I didn't have a sleeve, but I suffered from severe acid reflux for years before my RNY 20 months ago. I've had NO reflux since having the RNYGB.1

I'm glad to hear that it does help. I probably wouldn't revise if it werent for the reflux, but it's just so ugh.
Has anyone (or anyone know of anyone) that's had a bad revision experience?0
