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.

time for bariatric revision surgery is about two weeks, if the procedure is
