Why not go to the DS since you already have the begining part of it with the VSG. It takes a VERY experienced surgeon to do a sleeve to bypass. If you weren't eating right how do you know your sleeve isn't going to do anymore? Lots of questions you need to ask before undertaking a revision.

I am going from a sleeve to a gastric bypass my insurance doesn't cover ds. if not I would have that done.

I lost some weight, but gain it all back and having major complications from my sleeve- acid refulx, acid medicine 4X a day, uclers and erosions in my throat. it's been 3 years since I had my sleeve and every year is getting worse.

I will be having my gastric bypass in August.

How much do you still need to lose? Seriously, you're already got the stomach part of the DS---why not just add the intestinal portion and not mess around with your stomach again?

I would rather do NOTHING than settle for a RNY.  You already have the first half of the DS, get that.  Don't butcher a perfectly normal stomach.
