There are different causes why a bariatric procedure can fail, not letting reach your weight goals. The main reasons are:TECHNICAL: The surgery was not executed optimally, this is very rare, but unfortunately occurs. MECHANICAL: This could be an alteration of the procedure due to the transit of the food o pressure from the body.ADAPTATIVE: The body has adapted to the modifications made by the surgery, in the case of gastric sleeve, increase elasticity making the gastric reservoir larger.
But whatever the cause, it might be pertinent to do and x-ray study (barium swallow) to assess the size and shape of your sleeve.You should seek a consult with a bariatric surgeon with experience in revision surgeries, to asses your case and look for the best option for you.

I understand your concern about not seeing the desired weight loss after having a gastric sleeve procedure. It's essential to address this issue and find the best course of action to help you achieve your weight loss goals. First and foremost, it's important to note that every patient's response to bariatric surgery can vary, and there are several factors that could influence your progress.
Given that you had a gastric sleeve procedure in November and have not experienced significant weight loss, there are a few potential reasons for this. One possibility is that there may be an issue with your gastric sleeve, such as stretching or complications, which could be assessed with an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to determine its condition. However, based on the information you've provided, it's more likely that the issue lies with your diet and lifestyle habits.
While you're following the recommended post-operative plan and engaging in exercise, the quality and quantity of the food you're consuming may need closer examination. It's possible that you're not adhering to the recommended dietary guidelines for your specific surgery. Portion control, nutrient intake, and food choices are critical aspects of a successful recovery and weight loss journey after a gastric sleeve.
To address your concerns effectively, I would recommend scheduling an appointment with your bariatric surgeon or a registered dietitian who specializes in bariatric nutrition. They can review your dietary habits and provide guidance on making necessary adjustments. Additionally, they can determine if an EGD is warranted to assess the condition of your gastric sleeve.
Remember that each patient's journey is unique, and patience and persistence are key during this process. It's essential to work closely with your medical team to tailor your plan to your specific needs and address any obstacles that may be impeding your weight loss progress.
