Revision weight loss surgery is performed to address complications or insufficient weight loss from a previous bariatric procedure. Common reasons for revisions include weight regain, unresolved obesity-related conditions, or issues such as gastric band slippage, pouch stretching, or severe acid reflux.
Revisions may involve converting the original procedure (e.g., gastric band to sleeve or bypass) or correcting the existing surgery. Options include gastric sleeve revision, converting a sleeve to a gastric bypass, or addressing complications in bypass or duodenal switch patients.
This type of surgery is more complex and tailored to each patient’s specific needs. It requires a thorough evaluation by an experienced bariatric surgeon to determine the best course of action.
