Sleeve to Bypass
Hi Jo,

I don't know the answer I'm afraid, but am just bumping your post up so that hopefully someone else will see it.

I have read lots of anecdotal stories of band -to- bypass and band -to- sleeve conversions, and all successful from what I have read.

I know there are a few ex banders on here who have converted to a bypass, but in most cases several years later, and the ops were done at separate times.

Hope one of them will be along soon to help you.

Best wishes.

Sleeve to Bypass
Hi Jo,

I believe that OOnion (who has clicked "like" under my previous comment!) also had a band replaced with a bypass, but several years apart.

Hi joCan I ask how long you have had the band for and what has happened for you to get bypass? Sorry to be nosey its just I've had my band for 2 years and it worked fine for the first year and a half, then I got problems in my port site (I'm getting it repositioned on the 9th march) and then I started not been able to keep food down. I was just wondering what your circumstances are?

Hi

I had my band removed and my bypass done in one op nearly four weeks ago. I had serious reflux issues even with an empty band and got NHS funding for the revision.

I have had a very easy recovery and feel so much better without the band in.
