Gastric Bypass Revision

While some patients may hesitate to pursue a second surgery, studies have found 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. 

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

• Your Results Stall: In these cases, you might have found that your initial bariatric surgery was successful, but you have stopped losing weight. This can be incredibly frustrating for weight loss patients who saw the number on the scale drop, then remain in the same spot for weeks, months, or even years.
• You Regain Weight: Several factors can cause you to regain the weight you lost after your bariatric procedure. In some cases, the patient fails to adhere to a strict diet and regular exercise. But in others, the weight loss surgery itself is not suitable for the patient's condition in some way.
• You Never Lost Weight: Similar factors that cause patients to regain weight can also lead to unsatisfactory results and a complete lack of weight loss.
• The Stomach Pouch Has Stretched: If you undergo a restrictive surgery (designed to minimize the amount of food your stomach can hold), such as gastric sleeve, you will need to follow very strict guidelines. If you routinely eat too much or consume certain foods or drinks, your stomach pouch can become enlarged.
• You Experienced Surgical Errors: We might recommend a revision if your first bariatric surgery was performed incorrectly. 

In addition to poor weight loss results, incorrectly performed bariatric surgery 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.
