For most people, bariatric surgery is a dream come true. As they lose weight, their overall health improves and they develop lifelong healthy lifestyle habits. 

Some people may decide to have revisional sugery.  A patient may qualify for a revisional procedure if they:

  • Have complications related to a previous lap band procedure, such as slippage
  • Suffer from acid reflux
  • Experience inadequate weight loss or regain weight after a previous bariatric procedure

Revisional surgery is a complex decision. Your surgeon can discuss this option with you in detail.
