Two-Year Results of the Banded Versus Non-banded Re-sleeve Gastrectomy as a Secondary Weight Loss Procedure After the Failure of Primary Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Insufficient weight loss or weight regain has been reported in up to 30% of patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Approximately 4.5% of patients who undergo LSG need revisional surgery for a dilated sleeve.

Effect of Weight Regain on Body Composition and Metabolic Biomarkers After Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Cross-Sectional Study from a Hospital Database.

Introduction: Weight regain (WR) is described in approximately 30% of patient's post-bariatric surgery. It is related to the progression or recurrence of associated medical problems and decline in health-related quality of life. This study aimed to test the return of body composition and metabolic biomarkers to pre-operative levels when WR occurs.
