Definition
Regaining weight after a sleeve does not always mean the operation failed surgically. It can be related to liquid calories, sugars, low protein intake or weak follow-up. Some cases need an assessment for revision surgery.
Why it matters
It links the questions patients ask after a sleeve with the revision options available.

Does weight regain after a sleeve mean I need a new operation?
Not always. Eating habits, stomach size and tests should be assessed first before considering revision surgery.
