ReSleeve - anyone had one??

[JayBoo 3]

I have a Gastric sleeve done 10 years ago and my doctor would like me to have it Resleeved! I lost 45 kilos after first surgery but have now put on 21kgs :( Has anyone had one - was it successful?

Hi!

Im super curious is it your bariatric surgeon that wants you to be resleeved or primary doctor? I ask because most dont offer this as an option unless you go self pay. & Medical Tourism then they will do whatever

But thats just in the States...

Have you ever considered asking about a conversion to RNY, DS or SIPS along with the resleeve? I dont know what caused your regain but it can be easy to eat around a sleeve's effecfiveness plus the risk of developing GERD may increase leading to the need for a conversion to a bypass anyway...

Good luck whatever you choose 💚

Primary doctor - He is not even sure if it will be available!

Did you end up getting resleeved? I’m looking into getting resleeved as well.
