Revisional bariatric surgery may involve correcting or repairing the original procedure or doing a new procedure.
Can revisional bariatric surgery help me reach my weight goals?

The team at Murrieta Valley Surgery Associates performs revisional bariatric surgery for patients who regain weight or fail to lose significant amounts of weight as expected following weight loss surgery.
The bariatric surgeons also recommend revisional bariatric surgery if you have complications from your original procedure, such as gastrointestinal ulcers, reflux, or enlargement of the stomach pouch.
Revisional bariatric surgery is also recommended for patients with a loose or shifting gastric band (LAP-BAND).
What happens during revisional bariatric surgery?
Your surgeon at Murrieta Valley Surgery Associates customizes your revisional bariatric surgery, so you get the best possible outcomes. When designing your plan, they consider the original procedure performed, the problems you’re having, and your weight loss goals.

During revision surgery, they may repair the original procedure or do another weight loss surgery, such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve.
Do I follow a special diet after revisional bariatric surgery?
