What is Revision from Gastric Sleeve to Gastric Bypass?

A Path to Enhanced Weight Loss and Health

Converting from a Gastric Sleeve to a Gastric Bypass typically involves modifying the existing sleeve structure and creating a bypass of the small intestine. This revision can be ideal for patients who have not achieved or maintained their desired weight loss from the sleeve alone or are experiencing complications like acid reflux. Gastric Bypass can provide a more significant and sustained weight loss by adding malabsorption to the restrictive effects of the sleeve. Gastric bypass is the most effective long term solution for acid reflux following gastric sleeve.

How is the Sleeve to Bypass Revision performed?

This revision surgery begins with the assessment of the current sleeve anatomy, any hiatal hernia and then involves reconfiguring the stomach into a small pouch that is then connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a significant portion of the stomach and intestine and repair of hiatal hernia if needed. This procedure is performed using advanced laparoscopic or robotic techniques to ensure precision, minimize recovery time, and minimal risk of complications.
