Bariatric procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding enjoy strong reputations as being highly effective and have many patient success stories. However, some patients can experience complications or dissatisfaction with results from a particular procedure. Those patients may need revision weight loss surgery to fix the problems. Our Dallas / Fort Worth-area bariatric surgeon can help remedy a number of issues arising from a prior weight loss surgery procedure. Contact Gregory Barnes, MD - Specializing in Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery to schedule a consultation.
Most patients who have had weight loss surgery are pleased with the results. With that in mind, a small number of individuals may suffer from complications following their original surgery that can range from life-threatening to merely annoying or disappointing. Revision weight loss surgery by our board-certified bariatric surgeon, Dr. Gregory Barnes, can correct a variety of complications that can follow an initial weight loss surgical procedure. Revision surgery can also benefit patients who are dissatisfied with the amount of weight they are losing, be it too much or not enough. The following are some of the complications that may necessitate a revision weight loss surgery procedure.
Some complications that can arise from gastric bypass surgery can be treated with medicine; however, others may necessitate revision weight loss surgery. Some of these include:
It is possible to reverse the entire gastric bypass procedure, if necessary. Dr. Gregory Barnes will discuss all of your options with you at your initial consultation.
LAP-BAND® surgery is designed to be reversible. The band that wraps around the stomach to form a smaller stomach pouch can be loosened or tightened to allow more or less food intake. However, some rare complications from the initial operation may require a revision procedure. These include:
Occasionally, patients may be dissatisfied with the amount of weight they are or aren't losing, despite their best efforts. Sometimes, a patient’s life circumstances may have changed so dramatically that, over the years, they gained some or all of the weight back following a bariatric surgery procedure. Other times, technical problems with the surgery may have contributed to weight re-gain, such as has happened to many patients who had vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), or “stomach stapling.” Our bariatric surgeon can evaluate you to determine if revision weight loss surgery may be best to suit your needs. .
If you are experiencing complications from a previous surgical obesity treatment, if you are dissatisfied with the amount of weight you are losing or have gained back a significant amount of weight, or if you are having uncomfortable symptoms, please contact our Dallas / Fort Worth and Tarrant County-area bariatric surgeon, Gregory Barnes, MD Dr. Barnes is an experienced bariatric surgeon who can provide you with effective revision weight loss surgery.
