Its possible as I revised from RNY to DS.  The doctor will take down your pouch and reconnect it to your stomach and proceed to do the sleeve.  I had my revision done last September and I am down 81lbs.

Good luck to you in your journey

yes it is possible, there are only a handful of surgeons capable of taking down the pouch then revising to a sleeve (recommend going to DS) this is a very complicated and possibly dangerous surgery, you don't want just anyone doing it....
