Hey all!

I'm a little over 2 years post op with my sleeve. I've lost close to 130 pounds. Life for the most part is great. BUT, I've been in pain since I woke up from surgery. After countless hospital admissions, ER visits, drs apts and tests I finally have a reason for everything--I have a stricture. My surgeon wants to covert me to a bypass. I has anyone had the revision? What is life life? What is dumping syndrome? I love sweets and pasta-is it true I really can't eat them? Someone please help!

 

Thanks!

I had sleeve 11 months ago and I am considering a revision because i have only lost 50 lbs and have over 55 to go. i can eat sweets and am still an addict. I think I need that insurance of dumping. Do you really stop eating those things from dumping I am looking for some advice and experience from others.  How do you deal with sweets now with the sleeve are able to restrict yourself to a small amount?
