The Sleeve to conversion Bypass
When a patient has had a gastric sleeve or a sleeve gastrectomy in the past with another surgeon, many times these patients regain their weight after several years. These patients may qualify for a gastric sleeve to conversion gastric bypass. This is a more advanced procedure only offered by Dr. Sosa in Miami. It requires a very experienced bariatric surgeon to convert a sleeve to a bypass procedure. Most surgeons don’t have the skills or training to do it which is why most surgeons only offer the sleeve. The Sleeve to conversion Bypass helps patients to lose weight by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients, or by a combination of both gastric restriction and malabsorption.
Dr. Sosa is only one of few bariatric surgeons in the state of Florida who can perform this advanced weight loss procedure.

Restriction limits the amount of food you can eat. Whether it is a gastric banding device around the stomach or a surgically-created, smaller stomach pouch, restriction ensures that the patient feels satisfied with less food
Sleeve to conversion Bypass benefits
Malabsorption limits the number of calories and nutrients your body can absorb. During malabsorptive procedures, the surgeon reroutes the small intestine so that fewer calories and nutrients are absorbed.
