Asked By:whookie in Grand Rapids, MI

I lost 100 pounds from sleeve and did well for 8 years but now I am 70 pounds overweight and want to have another sleeve done . any added risks because it's the second time? will surgery still work for me even if it's not 100 percent as effective as the first time?
