Revision Obesity Surgery

Revision surgeon; the name of the second operation carried out in case of failure of any operation, patient or technical problem.

Nowadays most revision surgeons; the ‘stomach cuff’, which we call the stomach band, due to inadequate weight loss and complications, should be removed and converted to another obesity surgeon. Will revision surgery be applied to people who have had Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Revision surgery may be needed if the person can not fit healthy eating habits for 18 months, can not achieve adequate weight gain, or if weight gain is observed again. Technical disadvantages are the result, an inexperienced surgeon or revision surgeon is consulted when adequate weight loss is not achieved. We must know that revision surgery is more difficult and requires surgery than surgery, which is done first.
