When To Revise a Weight Loss Surgery?
Redo weight-loss surgery can be required if you have inadequate weight loss, complications, difficulty in swallowing, or recurrent weight gain.
- Inadequate weight loss: The first weight-loss surgery has not brought the intended result. The patients may be required to undergo a revision of the surgery or switch to a different procedure.
- Complication: The first surgery has some mechanical failure as a hole in the port of the band, slippage of the band, erosion of the band, or leakage in the stitch-line.
- Difficulty in Swallowing or Heartburn: This could be due to improper placement or excessive tightening of the band.
- For Weight Regain: Sometimes, patients who experience excessive weight loss want to get a reversal of their surgery to restore a healthy body.
