About Weight Loss Revision Surgery
Revisional weight loss surgery is beneficial for correcting
complications from a previous weight loss procedure or for enhancing weight
loss results.
Typically, surgeons can perform revision procedures
laparoscopically. You may need to have open surgery if your prior bariatric
surgery caused extensive scarring.
At UPMC's Bariatric Surgery Center, we will carefully evaluate you before
considering Revisional Bariatric Surgery Dallas for inadequate weight
loss.
This evaluation typically involves:
- An upper
GI series to check the anatomy of your stomach or intestines
- A
nutritional assessment to review your eating habits and lifestyle
Risks of Revision Surgery
Revision surgery carries increased risks, such as the potential
for bleeding, especially if you have scarring from your original bariatric
procedure.
Your bariatric surgeon will review all potential risks and
complications with you prior to revision surgery.
Bariatric Revisions Surgical Options
Recovery time for bariatric revision surgery is about two weeks,
if the procedure is performed laparoscopically.
