Gastric Bypass Revision

Errors during the initial surgery, poor dietary habits, and other complications can reverse the effects of your procedure. Together with his team of surgeons and anesthesiologists, Dr. Hidalgo can revise and refine your treatment so that you can achieve your weight loss goals with a shorter recovery time.

Reasons for Revising Bariatric Results

While highly effective, weight loss surgery of any kind requires rigorous compliance for longterm success. You may need a revision surgery if: 

• Your initial bariatric surgery was successful, but you have stopped losing weight 
• You have regained weight lost after your bariatric procedure
• You did not lose weight after bariatric surgery
• Your stomach pouch has enlarged due to poor diet following surgery
• Your first bariatric surgery was done incorrectly and requires adjustment

Incorrectly performed bariatric surgery in particular can lead to serious symptoms, including dumping syndrome, intolerance to solid foods, and severe constipation. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms after surgery, you should seek professional help immediately. 

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Revision

While some patients may be hesitant to pursue a second surgery, a study by the NCBI further that the majority of patients who underwent revisions were able to successfully lower their body mass index and lose excess weight within 12 months of surgery.
