Hello! I did the sleeve surgery almost 5 years ago and lost about 25 kilos. Last year I started gaining weight although I eat well and I exercise. I was wondering if it is safe for me to do the obalon procedure and whether you think it'll help? Many thanks

Answer: Obalon after gastric sleeve While Obalon is an extremely safe weight loss option, it is contraindicated if you have had prior stomach surgery, including weight loss surgery (bypass or sleeve), lap band, or hiatal hernia repair. These operations would potentially increase the risk of a complication occurring while the balloons are in place.

Answer: Revision after bariatric surgery Unfortunately the Obalon balloon can’t be used if you had previously gastric sleeve surgery. A better choice would be Transoral Outlet Revision with Overstitch. Good luck.
