Revisional Bariatric Surgery
New Patient Appointment or 214-645-8300
For more than two decades, UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Bariatric Surgery Program has been a pioneer in weight-loss surgery.
Our expert bariatric surgeons perform revision operations to help patients who have failed to lose weight or who are having problems related to their first bariatric surgeries.
Skilled Surgeons Revise Past Procedures
Complications from bariatric procedures are uncommon, but they can happen. UT Southwestern’s specialized bariatric surgeons perform revision (“redo”) operations.
Revisional bariatric surgery is complex, and patients require individual counseling and a tailored approach. Our bariatric surgeons work with patients to understand why revisional surgery may be necessary and to explore other bariatric surgical options.
Revisional Bariatric Surgery Options
Not all patients who have undergone bariatric surgery are candidates for revision surgery. In general, however, options for revisional bariatric procedures include:
- Laparoscopic gastric banding reversal
- Revision to a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
- Revision or reversal to a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
- Sleeve gastrectomy conversion to a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
