Gastric sleeve revision (TORe) FAQ
Gastric sleeve revision surgery involves modifying or correcting a prior sleeve gastrectomy procedure. It may be necessary due to inadequate weight loss, weight regain, complications from the initial surgery, or other medical reasons.
Candidates for gastric sleeve revision typically include individuals who have undergone a sleeve gastrectomy but haven’t achieved desired weight loss results or have experienced weight regain. Candidates undergo a thorough evaluation by a bariatric surgeon to determine their eligibility.
Common reasons include insufficient weight loss, weight regain after initial success, complications such as stretching of the stomach or leakage, persistent acid reflux, or anatomical changes affecting the efficacy of the initial procedure.
The potential benefits include improved weight loss, resolution of previous complications, better management of obesity-related health conditions, and enhanced quality of life.
The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation by a bariatric surgeon. This evaluation may include tests like an endoscopy to assess the condition of the existing sleeve. If deemed suitable, the revision surgery will be scheduled, involving adjustments or modifications to the original procedure.
Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the revision. Generally, patients can expect a recovery period similar to or slightly longer than their initial sleeve gastrectomy. Patients will receive specific post-operative instructions from their surgeon to aid in recovery.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, complications related to anesthesia, and the possibility of additional complications specific to revision surgery. A qualified bariatric surgeon will discuss these risks and benefits with the patient beforehand.
Success rates vary among individuals and depend on various factors, including the patient’s commitment to lifestyle changes, their health condition, and the specifics of the revision surgery. It’s crucial to follow post-operative guidelines and maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal results.
If a patient is not eligible for or chooses not to undergo revision surgery, there are often medical weight loss options available. These alternatives may include dietary counseling, lifestyle modifications, medication, or other non-surgical interventions to support weight management.
The best way to determine if gastric sleeve revision is suitable for your situation is to consult with a qualified bariatric surgeon experienced in revision procedures. They will assess your individual circumstances and provide guidance on the most appropriate course of action based on your needs and health goals.
