Gastric Sleeve Revisions

[Emu 0]

I had my surgery about 6 years ago and went from 125kg to 85kg and dieted off after that down to 71kg then I managed to stretch the pouch area as no one warned me about carbonated drinks and now I am back to just over 100kg and rising!

Has anyone had a revised sleeve surgery yet and if so please let me know how it went and any other helpful info.!

Thanks

I am also interested in someone answering your question. I am scheduled for a revision from band to sleeve in a few weeks and plan on this being the last surgery I need. I know and have been told that I can regain weight if I do not work with my sleeve, I know this but I am hoping the sleeve will be just the tool to help me keep on track. While searching for my revision surgeon I ran into several people that had the sleeve redone so I know it can be done.

sounds like I will never have carbonated drinks again. I don't want that to happen to me. hopefully it is possible for you.

If anyone know of any doctors that approve the sleeve revisions. It has been 5 yrs since my sleeve. I cannot find a doctor to approve for a revisions. My eating habits is still the same. I am not sure for the weight gaining. I have severe arthritis in my knees & shoulders. So exercising is not fun for me. Are all doctors against revisions. Help!!!

Switching from sleeve to bypass might be something to consider.

If you have the means, you could go to Mexico and self pay. There are surgeons there that do revisions.

The other option is to redouble your efforts at keeping to a restricted diet. Have you tried the pouch reset?

I decided against a sleeve revision as the sleeve wasn't addressing the actual problem. After a few years of trial and error I worked it out and solved my life long problem. I will be shortly launching My Simple Steps to Health as I have managed to lose 65 kgs by myself eating loads of food and feeling happy, calm and it's changed my life. Should be launching in April and I am more than happy to help everyone who signs up from Bariatric Pal for a heavily discounted amount.

Thanks and look forward to helping you.
