Hi All,

I am needing to be re-sleeved. I go to Mexicali Bariatric for surgeries.

Had a serious tummy tuck, and I am a bit anemic, so I know

there could be risks to getting re-sleeved.

I don't want so much mal-absorption - I do want the pouch tightened.

If you have had a second sleeve done, or a second surgery for weight re-gain

and also have anemia, please tell me who you had surgery with.

Who did you see and what was the cost?

Thanks a ton!

Is this a thing? Can you be re-sleeved? I'm just curious...I thought you can only go from being sleeved to a bypass...

hmm never heard of a re-sleeve, i dont think its physically possible as the fundus which is removed in the initial sleeve, does not grow back, so i would be intrigued. i also dont think a second sleeve would help in any way as the food calorie thing doesnt change per se, and the hormone producing areas dont grow back either. certainly seems a bit... well. i dont know.

Yes this is "a thing"- why I am asking for others that have had it done. Other surgeries after sleeve help with less absorbtion - I'm anemic, so obviously I don't want that. A re-sleeve is just like it sounds- takes the pouch that came back or the sleeve that is left too big, and makes it smaller.

I am here only to find people who have gone before me and gotten re-sleeved.

Redo your before surgery diet of just liquids and protein for a couple of days and that helps shrink your sleeve, I would not re-sleeve I have anemia since my surgery and felt like crap for the first 2 years i'm on my fourth year and starting to feel better i'm still battling with my weigh but would not like to go thru the hell of this surgery again, it's just a change of lifestyle.
