Revision Surgery

Revision surgery is for people who have already undergone a weight loss surgical procedure. Revisions might be needed or desired depending on the situation.

Revision surgeries can take many forms, including:

Reversal of a previous surgery

Converting a previous surgery from one type of procedure to another

Modifying a previous surgery

Repairing a prior operation

A revision is tailored to the patient’s needs. Since revision cases are unique, your surgeon can review your history and work with you to evaluate your options.

Revision outcomes depend on the type of revision surgery you are having and the reason behind that revision.

Lose weight

Have more energy and move more easily

Have fewer weight-related health problems

Experience a reduction in undesired side effects from a previous surgery

Have less acid or bile reflux

In addition to the above, revisions may lead to better health following surgery, like fewer symptoms from weight-related health conditions.
