Hi Lissy

I had to go to a bypass after a failed sleeve and with hindsight it was a good decision. Even though my sleeve was not working properly I know I was starting to eat the foods that caused my obesity in the first place. With the bypass I can't eat high sugar or high fat as it causes dumping which is really unpleasant. I lost 40kg with the sleeve and a further 21 kgs since the bypass. The bypass is not without its own issues but I can live with that. I am only 4kgs from my self imposed goal and now believe that I can get to 80kgs which is another 10kgs to go. Malabsorption is an issue and I take so many vitamins that I rattle but that is a small price to pay to be so much healthier.

Good luck with the decision making

Hi,I'm looking to go from sleeve to bypass due to veryyyy slow weightloss and only 35kg weightloss in 17months..Still have 20 odd kilos to go and my sleeve has stopped working..Will the bypass help me lose the xtra kilos I need to lose and faster or has this been quiet the opposite for some? I'd love to hear your journeys and get a beeter understanding of the bypass and and all it's good and bad aspects.
