Transform Your Life Again – Achieve the Results You Deserve!
Did you have weight loss surgery in the past but experienced weight regain or complications? You’re not alone. Many patients face these challenges, but the good news is that revision bariatric surgery offers a safe, effective, and permanent solution to help you achieve your weight loss goals and improved health.
Our advanced laparoscopic revision bariatric surgery is a specialized procedure that corrects or modifies your previous surgery, allowing you to return to successful weight loss and overcome obesity-related health conditions—transforming your life for the better.
What Is Revision Bariatric Surgery?
Revision bariatric surgery is a corrective procedure performed on patients who have had previous weight loss surgery. It addresses complications, inadequate weight loss, or weight regain by modifying, converting, or repairing the original procedure. The revision can involve tightening, resizing, or converting to a different type of bariatric surgery. If left unaddressed, failed bariatric surgery can severely affect your quality of life and daily activities.
Common Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore:
Weight regain after initial weight loss Inadequate weight loss from first surgery Severe acid reflux or GERD Nutritional deficiencies despite supplementation Complications from original surgery Return of obesity-related health problems Difficulty swallowing or persistent vomiting
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to take action.
What Causes Need for Revision Surgery?
Revision surgery becomes necessary due to various technical and lifestyle factors. Common causes include:
Weight regain due to pouch or sleeve stretching Non-compliance with post-operative diet and lifestyle Technical issues with original surgery Band slippage or erosion in gastric band patients Staple line failure or fistula formation Severe GERD after sleeve gastrectomy Dumping syndrome or malnutrition issues Psychological factors affecting eating behaviors
