Well, I did it, I revised from the sleeve to the bypass. The surgery was on Tuesday (11/25) and I was released yesterday (11/26). I dont have nearly any of the pain I had with the verticle sleeve. In case any of you are wondering, why in the hell would she have to have a revision from the wonderful sleeve, well here is my story! On April 18, 08, I had the sleeve. I was 268 before surgery. Since August until now, I have held a steady 235 (I actually weighed in at 239 last week). Due to the fact that I only lost 30lbs in seven months, I opted out for a revision surgery. I guess I was one of the few people the sleeve did not work for and having the Duodenal Switch would have been too much (costly and physically). My goal is to loose another 50 to 60 lbs.
