Is your sleeve MANGLED!? Asking for a friend, because this one was. 😳
This is a real case study of a patient who had a sleeve gastrectomy performed elsewhere by a surgeon who is highly respected internationally in our field. Which is why what I found inside her abdomen was so disturbing.
The sleeve was misshapen, narrowed, twisted, and surrounded by an abnormal amount of scar tissue. I have seen thousands of sleeves in my career and very few have ever looked this poorly constructed. The only explanation I can imagine is that this was performed by someone still in training, without proper supervision because no board-certified surgeon specializing in bariatric surgery would allow this type of anatomy to be the final product.
Even worse?
She woke up, was told “it’ll get easier,” and was never truly heard.
If YOU feel like your sleeve is “off”:
❌You’ve struggled to eat “normally”
❌You have chronic nausea or vomiting
❌ You have difficulty swallowing
❌ You have severe acid reflux
❌ You never lost the weight you expected
❌ You’ve felt dismissed or ignored
Please know this: you are not crazy, and, unfortunately, you are not alone.
