Revision Bariatric Surgery

Revision bariatric surgery is a specialized procedure designed for individuals who have previously undergone bariatric surgery but may require additional treatment to achieve their desired outcomes. This surgery addresses issues such as insufficient weight loss, weight regain, or complications related to the initial procedure.

What is Revision Bariatric Surgery?

Unlike primary bariatric procedures, revision surgery is tailored to the unique needs of each patient. It involves a thorough evaluation of the previous surgery and the patient’s current condition to determine the most suitable approach.

When is Revision Bariatric Surgery Needed?

• Insufficient Weight Loss: If the initial procedure did not result in significant weight loss.
• Weight Regain: If the patient experiences a significant regain in weight after the initial surgery.
• Surgical Complications: Issues such as leaks, strictures, or other complications that may arise from the original procedure.
• Changes in Health Goals: If a different approach is required due to changes in the patient’s health or lifestyle.

Types of Revision Procedures

Depending on the original surgery and the patient's needs, revision bariatric surgery may include:

• Converting a gastric band to a gastric sleeve or bypass.
• Adjusting or repairing a gastric sleeve.
• Revising a gastric bypass to address complications or improve effectiveness.
