Bariatric Revision Surgery is a procedure designed to address problems (weight gain, stricture, reflux, esophagitis) related to previous weight loss surgeries, such as Gastric Bypass, Mini Gastric Bypass, gastric sleeve or gastric banding. It is a complex procedure but in expert hands it decreases significantly.
Treatment: It consists of changing one bariatric procedure for another, for example from a gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass, from a gastric band to a gastric bypass or from a gastric band to a gastric sleeve, either due to weight gain, reflux, esophagitis, gastric band migration or gastrointestinal alterations such as malnutrition and vitamin deficiency.
