🔁 Revision Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Turkey – When Is It Necessary?
Revision gastric sleeve surgery is a secondary procedure performed on patients who have previously undergone a sleeve gastrectomy but experienced complications or insufficient results. At CosmetoCity, we provide expert evaluation and revision surgeries in Istanbul and Antalya, tailored to each patient’s unique medical history and surgical needs.
📌 Please note: The price for revision sleeve surgery varies depending on the patient's medical background and the complexity of the procedure. Contact us for a personalized quote and free consultation.
📌 Who Needs Revision Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Not every patient achieves optimal results after a first sleeve surgery. In some cases, a second surgery becomes necessary. Common indications include:
🔹 Insufficient weight loss despite surgery
🔹 Weight regain after initial success
🔹 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) development
🔹 Staple line leak, bleeding, or strictures after the original procedure
🧪 A thorough medical evaluation and imaging are required before recommending a revision.
❌ Who May Not Be a Suitable Candidate?
While revision surgery offers many benefits, it may not be appropriate in certain situations:
🚫 Minimal weight loss after the first surgery without anatomical issues
🚫 Advanced age with poor general health
🚫 Severe medical conditions (e.g., heart failure, lung or kidney disease) that increase surgical risk
👨⚕️ That’s why a personalized consultation is essential to assess risk and determine eligibility.
🏥 What to Expect After Revision Surgery?
Recovery from revision gastric sleeve surgery typically involves a stricter and more attentive post-operative process than primary surgeries.
✅ Hospital Stay: Usually 2–4 days for monitoring
✅ Rest & Recovery: Return to light daily activities in 1–2 weeks
✅ Dietary Plan: Starts with liquids → pureed foods → soft solids
✅ Exercise Routine: Walking initially, progressing to cardio and strength
✅ Regular Follow-Up: Essential to monitor healing, nutrition, and weight trends
Patients will also work closely with a dietitian and bariatric care team to support long-term success.
