Has anyone done the inverted gastric sleeve? If so how's your experience with it? And if done did you ask your surgeon to do the inverted gastric sleeve or did they recomend it.

had to look it up to know what you were talking about. It appears to be a way of reinforcing the staple line. I would want to look at how people are doing with having it done that way after the first year, at least, before consenting to have the surgical line inverted like that. I wonder how it affects flexation/digestion with the stomach wall sutured that way. Someone here must know about it from personal experience.

Anyone?

That's what I'm hoping that someone here has done it yet. ????

Interesting , this is also the first ive heard of this .. I would like to hear info on this as well.

My surgeon said he does staples and folds it over and does sutures to help avoid leaks. Is that what your talking about?

hmm interesting, is this what you are considering having done?

I had a tissue fibrin seal applied to my staple line and have encountered no problems. It is highly rated with no known suture leaks, but it does cost more than a suture reinforcement of other means.

I heard there was no extra charge its covered by insurance

I'm having that done with Dr Kim in Colleyville Texas, he does that at no extra charge

Mine is half inverted. The other half is stitched to nearby structures to keep in place.ive healed very fast and apart from anything with any type of sugar it apears to be made of steal. Very happy so far.

Dr David Kim did my inverted sleeve a little over 3 years ago. There is a 0% leakage rate with it. I don't have any issues with it.

Hi there! I've had the inverted sleeve by Dr. Kim in Colleyville TX. I've had NO problems, and so far have lost 130 lbs in a year. The experience has been great, and no regrets!

I think this is what I had, though I didn't realize it was anything special. When my doctor described it to me, she simply said it would be stapled and then folded over and stitched. She never called it "inverted" though. And I had no leaks! (exactly 2 weeks post op today).
