Is it possible to have a second gastric sleeve surgery, 3 years after the first one?

September 28, 2017
Asked By:Laura 212 in Miami, FL

I was 100 pounds overweight, severely depressed and decided to look into gastric sleeve. Found my surgeon, we decided gastric sleeve was the right procedure for me, paid cash, got the surgery, recovered easily and I did very well until nine months ago, my work situation changed and I have regained 30+ pounds. I am a stress overeater. I want to be re-sleeved, is that possible? I cannot go back to the way I was. Will I get pushback from doctors? Is there a longterm medical risk?
