Patients seek bariatric revision surgery for several reasons — they might not have lost as much weight as they would like to (or need to) or they might start gaining weight back again. Sometimes, revisions are needed if a patient is experiencing complications of their first operation like diarrhea, malnutrition, unexplained abdominal pain or ulcers.
With proper treatment and follow-up, however, patients can often avoid another operation. Our team is dedicated to providing world-class care for all patient needs. Very few centers have our expertise or willingness to help no matter when or where your previous surgery was done - whether an operation was done yesterday or 50 years ago, our team has the expertise and knowledge to help.
Our surgeons are well-trained in bariatric revision surgery and teach these procedures to providers all over the world. Let us help you decide if revision surgery is right for you.
If you're experiencing any of the following complications from your primary operation, you might need to consider undergoing a revision surgery:
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Inadequate weight loss
Malnutrition
Nausea or vomiting
Uncontrolled diabetes despite weight loss
Weight gain
