Why a Gastric Sleeve can fail and why you should not have a second sleeve!

In this video, Dr. Sosa discusses an important topic. Why gastric sleeve surgery typically fails and why most surgeons only offer the Gastric Sleeve or Sleeve Gastrectomy. Bottom line, if a patient received a Gastric Sleeve surgery and it failed, meaning they regained all their weight, that usually means they were a bad candidate for a Sleeve Surgery. If a surgeon does not have the expertise to perform a Gastric Bypass, buyer beware!

Only a real bariatric surgeon can perform a gastric sleeve or a gastric bypass safely. More importantly if your gastric sleeve surgery failed, your surgeon should convert the sleeve to a bypass to correct the failed surgery. If they try to convince you to get another sleeve, it’s because they are not trained to do a gastric bypass. You should only go to the most experienced and qualified bariatric surgeon for weight loss surgery.

Dr. Sosa has performed over 20,000 weight loss procedures including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and conversion sleeve to bypass. He is one of the most advanced and highly skilled bariatric surgeons in the state of Florida and patients from around the US and world travel to Dr. Sosa for his weight loss expertise.
