A member asked:
Is fundoplication possible in a sleeve gastrectomy patient?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Fundoplication : Generally not. There isn't enough stomach left to perform the fundoplication.

No: If the sleeve gastrectomy was done according to convention, there should be little to no gastric fundus remaining. This would preclude any type of standard fundoplication.
