Has somebody needed to change from Sleeve to Bypass??

Hi there!

Is someone there who had a sleeve first and because of regaining weight needed to change it to bypass??

if yes, please let me know how things went, if you are happy with the bypass, if your weight is easier to keep low with the bypass than with the sleeve, before.

thanks a lot!

WLS is a tool. Sleeve is a tool. 

If you regain because you don't follow proper diet - most likely that will happen again after RNY.  Initially you may lose some weight- but long-term successes are based on ability to stick to a proper diet. DS - may be more forgiving since they bypass the most and fat malabsobtion is permanent, but that surgery comes with its own post op requirments, and rules- and even that one will not help if a person eat too many carbs and sugars.

If you sleeve still works - it is up to you to get back on track and lose the regain.  

And even if you get revision - typically people lose slower...so why not use the tool you already have?
