Patients who have undergone weight loss surgery may require additional intervention to address challenges or achieve further improvements.
Revisional Surgery
Weight regain and reflux are the most common reasons for revisional surgery, though other issues may also play a role, including:
- Issues with prior gastric banding, such as slippage or erosion
- Complications from earlier anti-reflux surgeries
- Complications from traditional stomach stapling techniques
Effectiveness of Revisional Surgery
While revisional surgery isn’t suitable for everyone, it can be highly effective in appropriate cases, often achieving outcomes similar to primary surgeries. However, revisional procedures are associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates compared to initial bariatric surgeries.
Our surgeons will assess your medical history and current condition to determine if revisional surgery is suitable, discussing the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes. If you have concerns about a previous weight loss procedure, contact Riverina Bariatrics for expert guidance and personalised care.
