Revision on sleeve

[Sloane]

Hey guys!!!

I just had a quick question Has anyone or known of anyone that got a revision on their sleeve? my current surgeon is wanting to turn my sleeve into gastric bypass, my previous surgeon basically left my stomach to large and didn't staple my stomach properly. I was wondering if anyone had this same problem or had any advice for me, I never wanted to get the bypass hence why I went with the sleeve but since that didn't work now I'm looking into to bypass..


Thank you guys so much

Originally the sleeve was just a pre op to the bypass. So I can see how that would make sense to get that since you have not met your goal weight. Is it not possible for your surgeon to make your sleeve smaller?

Y'all, a long-time member, Truffles, just had re-sleeve surgery. She's been writing about it here. Look up her recent threads by going to her profile.

Try looking at getting a re-sleeve. Not all surgeons will do it, though. If you have more questions for me, just ask and I’ll try to answer as best as I can
