Revision surgery corrects the negative effects, complications, or poor results caused by an earlier bariatric surgery procedure. Patients choose revision surgery if their previous surgery caused unexpected problems or if the previous surgery did not get them the results they wanted.
A patient arrives to us having previously had bariatric surgery. They will need to undergo the same post-op diet after their revision surgery. Revision surgeries have similar recovery times. However, the surgeon will provide the patient with the necessary information.
Bariatric surgeries do not offer the same results for all patients. Due to a multitude of factors, the patient may come away from bariatric surgery with a feeling of dissatisfaction or a belief that they didn’t get the results they were supposed to. Some patients have digestive issues after bariatric surgery and want to get those corrected, as well. The most common reason patients come to us for revision surgery is because they lost a lot of weight after the procedure but gained it all back not long after their first plateau. This is not something to be ashamed of, as sometimes weight loss can be attributed to the restrictive diet and not the gastrointestinal changes.
Our surgeons at ALO Bariatrics have extensive experience correcting bariatric procedures that have either gone wrong or didn’t provide the results desired. We’ve developed an easy-to-follow program that improves a patient’s chance of long-term weight loss and health. Thanks to our program, people don’t have to feel like bariatric surgery has failed them.

If you’ve had a bariatric procedure done in the past but are not satisfied with the weight loss results, revision surgery can be an excellent option to help get you back on track. You don’t need to feel ashamed for resorting to revision surgery: not all surgical procedures are equally effective for everyone. Not only that, but everyone’s body is different, and some people’s bodies are much more receptive to the gastrointestinal changes than others.
Some patients may choose to get revision surgery due to complications that arose from the previous surgery. Patients who have dealt with the following issues may benefit from revision surgery:

No matter what bariatric procedure you tried the first time, or what surgeon you worked with, we are happy to talk with you and help you understand your options for revisional treatment. Sometimes, a weight loss surgery fails. In other cases, it was not the best treatment for the patient, and sometimes, we will never know why the treatment did not work.
Whatever the case, it is perfectly reasonable for anyone who tried one treatment without success to have the chance to try a different obesity treatment. Every case is different, so we’ll work with you to evaluate your medical history, reasons for weight regain, lifestyle, and treatment preference.

Bariatric revision surgery cost depends greatly on the patient and the surgeon. Depending on the procedure you need, you may see a higher cost. For example, turning a mini gastric bypass into a gastric sleeve procedure is a lot more technical than removing a gastric band and then doing a gastric sleeve. Give us a call at (619) 653-6739 for a consultation!
The amount of weight you lose depends on your starting weight and how much weight loss you’ve retained since your last procedure. However, revision surgeries tend to have a similar expected weight loss as gastric bypass, so long as they’re done correctly.
This will depend on your insurance provider and how the surgery is classified. Most insurance providers do cover, at least partially, bariatric revision surgery. However, this doesn’t necessarily apply to procedures done outside of your country. Call your insurance provider and make sure that you understand what is accepted and what isn’t.
Yes: gastric bypass is a procedure that can be revised. People elect to get their gastric bypass procedures revised due to either a lack of results, or due to complications faced in their previous procedure. Some people choose to get a gastric bypass to gastric sleeve revision surgery, as well.
