LMolina1987 75 Posted September 8, 2015 Has anyone done the inverted gastric sleeve? If so how's your experience with it? And if done did you ask your surgeon to do the inverted gastric sleeve or did they recomend it. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Folly 308 Posted September 8, 2015 had to look it up to know what you were talking about. It appears to be a way of reinforcing the staple line. I would want to look at how people are doing with having it done that way after the first year, at least, before consenting to have the surgical line inverted like that. I wonder how it affects flexation/digestion with the stomach wall sutured that way. Someone here must know about it from personal experience. Anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tssiemer 85 Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) My surgeon said he does staples and folds it over and does sutures to help avoid leaks. Is that what your talking about? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited September 8, 2015 by tssiemer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladivaluz806 87 Posted September 8, 2015 hmm interesting, is this what you are considering having done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bubbletoes 124 Posted September 9, 2015 I had a tissue fibrin seal applied to my staple line and have encountered no problems. It is highly rated with no known suture leaks, but it does cost more than a suture reinforcement of other means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnytiff 49 Posted September 15, 2015 Dr David Kim did my inverted sleeve a little over 3 years ago. There is a 0% leakage rate with it. I don't have any issues with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjruiz66 8 Posted September 15, 2015 Hi there! I've had the inverted sleeve by Dr. Kim in Colleyville TX. I've had NO problems, and so far have lost 130 lbs in a year. The experience has been great, and no regrets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
