What is Endoscopic Revision after Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery works by removing a portion of the stomach and creating a narrow sleeve that limits the amount of food a patient can eat. Over time, the stomach can stretch and patients can eat more food and find they are starting to regain the weight. Endoscopic revision after gastric sleeve surgery helps patients who find that after initial significant weight loss, they are now regaining the weight.

How does Endoscopic
Revision after Gastric
Sleeve Surgery work?
Endoscopic revision after gastric sleeve surgery involves passing a lighted instrument (a gastroscope) into the stomach. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for maximum safety and comfort. Using the instrument, stitches are placed in order to make the stomach smaller. This procedure helps limit the amount that can be eaten and increases the sensation of fullness after eating. This should result in renewed weight loss.

Advantages Compared to a Surgical Revision
This procedure offers several advantages compared to a surgical revision. Scarring and adhesions resulting from a prior gastric sleeve surgery would make a surgical revision more technically difficult and riskier. This is a nonsurgical procedure so there is no scarring, less risk of complications, less pain, and faster recovery. There is less time off needed from work and faster return to normal activities.
