I’m preparing for revision all surgery in the next couple months. I’m concerned about how much I can lose. I originally lost 112 with the sleeve and have gained back about 55-60 (I’m afraid to look). I have heard things like the sleeve portion of the surgery (which I have already had) helps you lose the weight and the rest of the surgery (malabsorption part) helps you keep it off.

Wanted to see if there were any people here that have done this revision that can give me the skinny on how much I will lose. ANY advise on what I’m getting myself into is appreciated. All my research points to go but real life experience is always appreciated!

I haven't heard of SIPS, what is it?

Loop Duodenal Switch / SADI-S / SIPS are different names for the same procedure. A modification of the traditional Duodenal Switch with a single anastomosis (cut and reattachment of the small bowel) vs two with the traditional DS and a longer common channel (250 cm vs 100 cm) to allow for greater nutrient absorption. Both this procedure and the traditional DS include a sleeve gastrectomy.
