I've had gastric sleeve. Do you do a revision and what does it cost? How long is mandatory stay?

Question

H. Joseph Naim, MD, FACS · Answer

Most Gastric Sleeve revisions involve getting s Roux-En-Y Gastric bypass...
This can help to reduce symptoms of reflux, in addition to losing more weight!
The option of Gastric Sleeve is also available, but not everyone will qualify!
The cost of Revision is 15K-18K which included all the elements except Blood test and EKG.

Hello.Thanks for your time and question.
The cost for the Sleeve revision may vary depending on the country you will be having the surgery. Regarding the days it will be 12 days after the proceadure is done.
I would recommend you to visit a Certified Bariatric Surgeon in your area to discuss about the pricing and about the proceadure.
Hope that you can get your surgery and start a new journey.
Good luck in this journey, blessings 
Dr. Pablo Garcia

You don't give us enough information to give a proper answer.  Why do you want a revision?  Do you have terrible reflux?  Did you never lose weight?  Or did you originally lose weight and then start to regain?The answer depends on the reason for the revision.  A good thing about sleeve gastrectomy is that there are many options.  You could have a re-sleeve, conversion to gastric bypass, or addition of malabsorption in the form of the duodenal switch.  Of course the cost and length of stay depend on what is being done.  A re-sleeve at our hospital would run about $11,000 with a 1-3 night stay; gastric bypass conversion would be a few thousand more.
