Can I revise my gastric sleeve or do I move to a gastric bypass?

May 13, 2017
Asked By:tndoss in Beaverton, OR

I had the gastric sleeve done in 2013 and lost about 40 pounds. I was able to eat more than I should but still tried to follow diet. I then lost another 45 on my own but now have gained it back. I think my sleeve was not done correctly and question whether I can have it revised or move to the bypass. I have seen photos of others who have had the procedure in other programs with other surgeons and they have been so successful. I just want to lose this stinking weight. Please help!
