TOGA to sleeve revision anyone?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone here had the TOGA surgery (Transoral Gastroplasty). It is not FDA approved but it was done for clinical trial but discontinued. I had it done almost 3 years ago and it was unsuccessful. I lost 40lbs during my pre and post op diet and quickly gained all but 15 lbs back. Anyhow I wanted to find out if anyone had the procedure and been revised to sleeve. Ive been on numerous sites since my surgery and I met some ladies that were having it done but haven't heard anything since, good, bad, or indifferent. I cannot find anything online about the long term success ir whether anyone had failed on it and had revision. I read one medical study about 4 TOGA patients being successfully switched to gastric bypass but that's it. Anyhow I am scheduled with Almanza in march to switch to sleeve. I also contacted Aceves office but the price quoted was too high $12,500. I could never afford that. His staff claims he has done some TOGA to bypass revisions. Anyway, any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I too had my procedure with UT Houston/Dr. Wilson and lost 60 pounds but put about 20 back on. I was wandering how your revision surgery to the Gastrics Sleeve went ?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
