Sleeve to MGB Low BMI
I've been researching options for resleeving but one of the docs I had narrowed it down too believes MGB to be the best option as opposed to resleeving. I had NEVER considered such a thing though I guess it doesn't hurt to do some research. Here's the thing, I weigh about 175 lbs, I'm very happy around 150, my sleeve is definitely not working at all, I fight everyday to stay where I'm at but I've gained 10lbs over the last few months. Is this surgery too severe for a lower BMI patient?
I had a revision to MGB on 4/23. Recovery was rough but only because I ended up dehydrated and also got pneumonia in both lungs. I'll be 6 weeks on Thursday and I'm doing great now ! Iv lost 22 lbs so it's slow going but that okay, I'm only 20/25 lbs from my goal weight now. Iv heard good things about Oritz, I had a great experience with Rodriguez for the most part. He is more expensive though but I stayed the whole time in the hospital.
I'm 5 months out as of yesterday from my sleeve to MGB, so far so good, about 10 lbs from goal but honestly I haven't tried at all to lose and have been guilty of letting the surgery do all the work. I am very active though and I do run a few times a week and average at least 10k steps per day. I would be happy to answer questions if you have any. Good luck to you!
