Revision from bypass to sleeve?
I am wondering if anyone has heard of revising from gastric bypass to a sleeve?
I had gastric bypass surgery in 2014 and lost 125lbs getting down to 145lbs at my lowest. I then got pregnant within my 1st year. I am now at 215lbs and my surgeon says my pouch is still small but the opening is too large and has suggested and scheduled a revision to a sleeve in October. I am hoping to find others who have gone through something similar because I can't find much information on this type of revision.
Thank you!
I have never heard of going from a RNY to a sleeve. I have heard of making the opening in the stoma tighter. Many surgeons convert a sleeve to RNY. But I have never heard of one that reversed RNY to a sleeve.
Converting a RNY to a sleeve would be a complicated procedure if that is what he is actually doing.
Taking down a RNY is only done by a few surgeons in the world. It is both complicated and dangerous.
I would do a lot more research and get other opinions before agreeing to doing this.

Hello, I have known a few that had revisions from the sleeveto rny but honestly have never heard of an rny to a sleeve.
I don't believe that's a possible surgery as a majority of your stomach has already been removed to just leave you with a pouch.
Keep well,
