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 Dallas caused extensive scarring.
At UPMC's Bariatric Surgery Dallas 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.
