Revision of Sleeve Gastrectomy
Revision sleeve gastrectomy may be necessary for some patients who have undergone a previous sleeve gastrectomy but are struggling to reach their desired weight or have experienced weight regain. This procedure involves resecting a portion of the stomach to reduce its size and capacity, which can lead to improved weight loss and management.
It's important to note that not all patients are suitable candidates for revision sleeve gastrectomy, and the decision to undergo this procedure will be made on an individual basis after careful evaluation by the bariatric surgeon. The size and shape of the stomach after the initial sleeve gastrectomy, as well as the patient's overall health and weight loss history, will be considered when determining whether revision surgery is appropriate.
