Gastric sleeve surgery AGAIN

[FebJune 1]

Hi all. I had Gastric sleeve surgery in 2015, I started of at 375lbs and lost just over 100lbs to date. I've had three little ones since then, yes three! After about three months post surgery I got pregnant and although I still had great results, being pregnant three years in a row definitely put a strain on my weight loss. My question is can I have the surgery again seeing as I'm still overweight and not losing weight any more? I'm absolutely done with having children and really want to give the surgery another go, this time without any intervals.

Hi,

Congrats on everything so far!!! Meet with a surgeon for a consult but they will likely try for a conversion to either RNY or DS (SIPS) , VSG was originally intended to be a two part surgery for super morbidly obese patients with the first part being the VSG to reduce the weight enough to safely continue with DS. VSG worked so well many patients never needed part two. This may be something to discuss with your prior team or a new one but from what I hear it's rare to redo a VSG.

SAFE JOURNEY AGAIN!!!

Yea, I would talk to your surgeon about a revision to a different surgery
