Sleeve Revision Explained
An endoscopic sleeve revision tightens a sleeve gastrectomy. It is an outpatient, same-day non-surgical endoscopic procedure that lasts 30-45 minutes. It is best for people who had a surgical sleeve gastrectomy and have gained weight and can eat more food. The result? Patients will find they can feel full again, will be able to feel satisfied with smaller portions of food, and can do the things they want to do.
Who is it For?
Endoscopic sleeve revision is for people who had a sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than two years ago, lost some weight but then gained it back. This procedure is best for people who feel like they can eat larger portions and have trouble keeping their diet on track.
How The Procedure Works
Endoscopic sleeve revision is a non-surgical endoscopic procedure that your doctor does on the same day. Your doctor will put an endoscope into your mouth and then use it to make your stomach tighter. It takes 30-45 minutes under anesthesia, and you are out of the hospital in just one day. It is usually smaller than before. Endoscopic sleeve revision is very closely related to Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty. This is a new and advanced non-surgical endoscopic procedure for people who want to get the benefits of weight loss surgery, but without actually having that surgery. Most people will be able to return to work and normal activities within 2-3 days after this procedure.
How Much Weight Will I Lose?
The average weight loss following an endoscopic sleeve revision is 15-20% of body weight. Endoscopic revisions are not as dramatic as the original surgery, but they can help patients lose a lot of weight. The people who do best use this new tool to completely change their lifestyle.

How Long is the Procedure?
The procedure is done in less than thirty minutes. You will be sedated during the entire process which takes place at an outpatient setting. After waking up, you’ll recover and then go home all within a few hours from start to finish!
What are the Risks of the Procedure?
You may experience mild nausea, chest pressure, and stomach spasm. These symptoms will pass in less than a day. Although rare complications like infection or bleeding are possible, the risk is still low at under 1%.
