Thank you to both of you. My appt with my surgeon isn't that far away anymore so I shall be patient. I think my greatest fear is he will tell me there's nothing he can do and I just have to eat less. (My inner voice is not very nice to me).
I'm grateful for both your responses and hope things go well for you.

Hello,
I had my sleeve in 2014 and lost about 100 lbs. I've regained about half of that due to many factors plus I have quite bad GERD. Also, i'm in my 50s. I will be seeing my surgeon on June 1 and I believe he will suggest a revision to gastric bypass so in advance I'd like to hear from anyone who's already had that revision.
Was the surgery more difficult the second time around?
Which things are better?
Which things are not so great? Any limitations to how you live your life now from when you had the sleeve?
Any advice for anyone considering a revision? Things to be aware of that they may not tell you beforehand?
Many thanks!
