Revision Weight Loss Surgery
Personalized solutions to correct or enhance previous procedures and get your progress back on track.
If your first bariatric surgery was a sleeve gastrectomy or duodenal switch and you are not achieving the weight loss expected, a second surgery may be possible. If it is the right choice for you, your surgeon would most like look to reduce your stomach pouch size again, which would also be considered a Bariatric Revision Surgery.
At Beltline Health, we are happy to provide you with a consultation if you feel a revision surgery may be necessary, no matter who, when, or where your first surgery took place. Our surgeons will help you figure out what has happened and recommend the best course of action for you. You should not feel bad about weight gain. Remember how far you have come and that you can continue to move forward with the right support.
