The rise in obesity operations will inevitably lead to an increasing number of re-operations... In some cases, the need for re-operation will be explicit because of a technical or post-surgical anatomical problem that clearly requires a further surgical procedure to correct. In other cases, the indication will be a perceived failure of the primary surgery to achieve expected weight loss outcomes and satisfactorily resolve pre-operative morbidities. 3, record 1, English, - primary%20surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery.... This surgery is also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy(VSG). Gastric sleeve surgery restricts your food intake, which leads to weight loss.... Most of the left part of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is then a narrow tube called a sleeve. Food empties out of the bottom of the stomach into the small intestine the same way that it did before surgery. 1, record 5, English, - gastric%20sleeve%20surgery
