Has previous weight loss surgery not helped you achieve the results you had been hoping for?
Conversion surgery could be suitable for you if you have experienced problems with your gastric band, such as slippage, or difficulty maintaining weight loss after surgery. It is also suitable for people who haven’t lost as much weight as they’d hoped to from other types of weight loss surgery.
Whatever your situation, gastric band to gastric sleeve conversion surgery could be an effective way to bring your weight loss goals back within reach.
If your gastric band hasn’t helped you maintain your weight loss like you had hoped, conversion from a gastric band to a gastric sleeve could be an effective alternative.
A gastric band to gastric sleeve conversion helps to reduce appetite, meaning you will feel fuller sooner and eat less as a result. It is a non-reversible procedure that reduces the size and capacity of the stomach by about 75%, also removing the part of the stomach that stimulates the appetite hormone, ghrelin.
All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.
As a guide, these may include bleeding, infection, nausea, vomiting and constipation.
Gastric band to gastric sleeve conversion is suitable for patients who have had difficulties with their band or who need extra help maintaining weight loss following gastric band surgery.
