Revision Bariatric Surgery

Revision surgery is considered for patients who experience weight regain, inadequate weight loss, severe reflux or specific complications after a previous bariatric procedure.

Common indications

  • Weight regain after sleeve gastrectomy, bypass or gastric band
  • Inadequate initial weight loss
  • Severe gastro-oesophageal reflux after sleeve gastrectomy
  • Stenosis, fistula or other late complications

Work-up

Revision is more complex than primary bariatric surgery and requires careful evaluation: upper GI endoscopy, contrast study, often pH-impedance and manometry for reflux, nutritional and metabolic review.

Procedure options

Depending on the previous operation and the underlying issue, options may include conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, re-sleeve in selected cases, or other tailored procedures. The decision is individualised.

Recovery and follow-up

Hospital stay and recovery are usually longer than primary surgery. Lifelong nutritional follow-up and supplementation remain essential.
