Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) would be the procedure of choice for non-responders of weight loss and patients with reflux symptoms (GERD). However, not every patient is a candidate for RYGB, and sometimes, the patient can insist only on alternatives other than malabsorption procedures, as was the case with our patient. We report a case with symptomatic GERD who underwent a successful Nissen sleeve gastrectomy after band removal. To our knowledge, this is the first case using Nissen sleeve as a redo surgery after a previous bariatric procedure.

Key points
• A new variant, the Nissen sleeve, as a redo surgery following a previous bariatric procedure was described.
• Another alternative option for patients with severe reflux and morbid obesity who are unwilling or unable to undergo RYGB.
• The Nissen sleeve looks to be a safe surgical method as a redo operation with an acceptable early postoperative complication rate after the initial learning curve and later technical adjustments.
