Is sleeve useless if u gain all weight back
Answer: Options after failed gastric sleeve Hello, Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear the surgery has failed to treat your obesity long term. This can be due to the initial sleeve being too large, and/or stretching over time. Surgical options for you now include a re-sleeve, gastric bypass, or duodenal switch. Consultation with a bariatric surgeon will help you determine the best treatment based on your experience with the first surgery, your anatomy, and your health goals. Please do not give up and know that many patients, regardless of their experience with their initial surgery, find long term results with the second surgery. Best wishes, Dr. Moein

Answer: Bariatric Surgery Hello, I would definitely consider the case for an evaluation, reading the information you have provided the gastric revision can be taken in consideration. The first thing is that you must evaluate yourself with a certified bariatric surgeon who can perform the Switch, also review your case and then proceed to take the best decision for you. Do not get discouraged in the search of options to improve your health. My Best Regards,

Answer: Always hope We developed the OCC Sleeve Rescue... though you will find a general opinion that now you have to be converted to another procedure with its own set of associated side we effects... I believe in second chances. If your sleeve meets certain criteria then it can be simply fixed, sized back if you will to the appropriate dimensions. We have hundreds of patients that have undergone successfully and are back on track.

Answer: Sleeve failure It’s very likely that your stomach has regain volume due to many posible factors, a revision procedure is very likely to be needed however it is important to do a full assessment. The only fact that I’m sure is that you have viable options that will require dietary and behavioral modifications to obtain long term results
