Is it possible to have a sleeve reversed?
Problems after Sleeve Gastrectomy
Mar 2, 2018
If you are having issues keeping food down you should seek the advice of your bariatric surgeon or a second opinion from another bariatric surgeon as soon as possible.  There is no way to reverse a sleeve gastrectomy because the large portion of the stomach was removed.  If you have a stricture or a twist it can sometimes be fixed with endoscopy and a stent or sometimes requires conversion to a sleeve gastrectomy.  It is important for you to seek the advice of a qualified bariatric su…
If I had a successful Nissen fundoplication can I get the Orbera balloon?
Can you have gastric balloon after Nissen fundoplication
Feb 7, 2018
Unfortunately any previous gastric surgery is a complete contraindication for all of the gastric balloons on the market including Orbera, Reshape, and Obalon. You should look into a comprehensive weight loss program or surgery if you qualify. I wish you the best of luck.
I haven’t lost weight since gastric sleeve despite following the plan. What can I do?
Not losing weight after sleeve gastrectomy
Jul 11, 2017
I would get a second opinion from another bariatric surgeon to perform an endoscopy to see if the original sleeve was performed correctly.  If they made your stomach too large this can lead to the poor weight loss.  You should have never even had a sleeve gastrectomy with a BMI of 32. The criteria for sleeve gastrectomy is a BMI of 40 or greater or a BMI fo 35 or greater with at least one medical problem related to obesity.
Conversion from gastric sleeve to bypass??? Is this possible? What are the costs?
Conversion of sleeve gastrectomy to gastric bypass
Jun 10, 2017
Yes, you can convert a sleeve gastrectomy to gastric bypass. Depending on your insurance and BMI, insurance may cover your procedure.  Self pay prices vary throughout the USA.  I suggest you consult with a bariatric surgeon in your area and discuss your options to obtain pricing. I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey.
Do I qualify for gastric sleeve? I’m 21 years old 5’4 and 195 lbs.
Low BMI for sleeve gastrectomy?
Jun 10, 2017
Unfortunately you do NOT qualify for sleeve gastrectomy.  The criteria for sleeve gastrectomy is a BMI greater than 40 or a BMI greater than 35 with at least one medical problem related to obesity.  You do qualify for the gastric belly balloon.  You need a BMI between 30 – 40 to qualify for this procedure.  I recommend you follow these guidelines that are the standards in the USA. In foreign countries they will perform the surgery on anyone willing to pay.
