The best option in terms of weight loss, is to revise your sleeve to the SADI-S or SIPS.  this is a modified duodenal switch that is well tolerated and works great.  Revision to the gastric bypass will not give you as much weight loss.  Sleeve to SIPS is safe and can be performed with minimal complications in experienced hands.  Do some research on the SADI-S or SIPS, this is your best chance of substantial weight loss after a failed sleeve.

Hello, I am sorry to hear you are still struggling with your weight as well as additional conditions. There are several criteria to take into account before deciding if you are eligible for a conversion surgery, and if so, which type.

You are a perfect candidate for a revision to Gastric Bypass.
Most insurances will cover that, or you can expect to pay about 15K-18K for out of pocket cost.
This will help you lose additional weight and will definitely improve or resolve your diabetes.
It's a 1-2 hour procedure with one night  hospital stay and can be done with minimal risk in a experienced hand.
