Revision and Conversion Surgery

---

For a variety of reasons, bariatric weight loss surgery patients may experience the need for revisions, corrections or conversions of their original operation. Your surgeon can evaluate your situation and recommend appropriate treatment.

• Gastric Bypass Revision
  If you had gastric bypass surgery and initially experienced weight loss, but have now begun to regain weight, there may be other options for you to consider. Your bariatric surgeon will review gastric bypass revision surgery with you.
• Conversion Surgery
  If your laparoscopic adjustable gastric band needs to be removed, weight regain is highly likely. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass may be a viable surgical option for patients who experience problems with a gastric band or who do not reach their weight loss goals.

Patient results may vary. Consult your physician about the benefits and risks of any surgical procedure or treatment.
