Hello.
Thanks for your time and question.
Yes, you can turn the gastric sleeve into a bypass. I would recommend you to visit a certified bariatric surgeon to discuss the best option for you, the regarding the cost it may vary depending on the area and doctors.God bless you and good luck on your journey.

Yes, you can convert a sleeve gastrectomy to gastric bypass. Depending on your insurance and BMI, insurance may cover your procedure.  Self pay prices vary throughout the USA.  I suggest you consult with a bariatric surgeon in your area and discuss your options to obtain pricing. I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey.

It will cost you between 15 to 18 thousand in Los Angeles area...
And yes, that is a great idea!
You will get more restriction, less fat absorption and more weight loss...
Actually I recommend the Gastric Bypass for al the failed Sleeve patients as I believe it has less complication rate compared to re-sleeve.
