New to bypass from sleeve

First topic message reminder :

Hi everyone, well I'm new to bypass as of weds since problems with the sleeve I had done 3 months ago. I know some of you are aware of my journey but basically the sleeve was bending and despite surgery to fx it, it came back plus also partial paralysis at the entrance to the sleeve meaning what I did take in would become stuck and usually get thrown back up. All in all meant I've barely taken in 300 calories a day for months and ended up very malnourished and been back in hospital this time since 27th dec. Lots of things tried to avoid bypass incl a stent but nothing worked so conversion to bypass became my only option. Anyways it would be good to hear any and all tips! I'm seeing the dietician and psychologist regularly now and will continue when I get out of the hospital hopefully early next week.

Look forward to chatting to fellow bypassers!

Thank you guys! I'm in Holy Spirit at Chermside. Been in and out of here about 7 times in last few months. Not been fun! But nurses and everyone here has been great. No one knows why this has happened and my surgeon is One f the best. Just hasn't worked for me! For a long time I thought it was just me struggling and not trying enough but my surgeon and team never gave up tryin to find out what was going on. So despite massively struggling with the bypass decision, I was left with no choice in the end as we tried revision surgery, stents, all knds and I'm just glad it's done!

Looking forward to my new life starting over again!

Chris before the sleeve you gave me great advice I was so nervous of the "easy route" and being judged! Wow it has been anything but the easy route that's for sure! Haha

Oh, Suzy, what a heap of problems you've had. I'm sorry that everything has been so hard for you, and hope that you are well enough to leave hospital soon, and that your recovery from here is a quick and easy one. Good luck!

hi Suzy

Sorry to hear you have had major problems, glad to hear that things are improving. Lets hope that it is all upward from here. Just a question do they know why this happened? to do with the surgeon or something else ?

You must be bored being in hospital all that time, what hospital are you in ?
Hope things keep improving
