Introduction
Bariatric revision surgery is performed to improve or repair previous bariatric surgery. It is a viable option for patients who have not achieved their expected weight loss or are experiencing weight rebound. Although revision surgeries are often more complex than the original weight loss surgery, there are highly qualified specialists, such as Dr. Luis Cano, an experienced double board-certified bariatric surgeon who specializes in complex revision bariatric surgery.
Who should consider bariatric revision surgery?
There are several reasons why someone should consider bariatric revision surgery. Generally, someone should consider this procedure if they experience:
- Health concerns: Such as bleeding, malnutrition, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), intestinal obstruction, onset of diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea or other conditions.
- Changes in anatomy: For example, in some cases it may happen that the stomach has stretched allowing you to eat more than you did just after your surgery.
- Life changes.
Bariatric revision surgery options
A revision surgery may be an option if you are dissatisfied with the results or are experiencing undesirable side effects. Some of the options include:
- Conversion from gastric sleeve to gastric bypass or SADI-S.
- Bypass distalization or Bypass reversal.
- Band to sleeve, band to bypass, band to mini bypass conversion.
- Revision of gastroplasty to bypass.
Advantages of bariatric revision surgery
Bariatric revision surgery can be as effective as first-time bariatric surgery in reducing weight and improving obesity-related medical problems.
At Obesity Out, our multidisciplinary bariatric team will carefully evaluate your needs and work with you to find the best option and give you a second chance at success.
Bariatric revision surgery can be a valuable option for those patients who have not obtained the expected results from a first bariatric procedure, or who have experienced complications. It is important to remember that, as with any medical procedure, there are associated risks and it should be performed by a surgeon experienced in this type of surgery. Always consult with your medical team and thoroughly discuss the options and possible outcomes before deciding the best course of action for your health and well-being.
