What Is Revision or Conversion Surgery?

Revision surgery involves adjusting or correcting your original weight loss procedure (e.g., tightening a gastric band or re-sleeving the stomach).

Conversion surgery means changing from one type of weight loss procedure to another (e.g., from a gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass).

The goal is to help you achieve better results while addressing any side effects or complications from your previous surgery.

Why You Might Need a Second Surgery

You may benefit from revision or conversion surgery if:

You did not lose enough weight after your original surgery
You regained a significant amount of weight over time
You developed problems such as reflux, severe dumping, or nutritional issues
Your first operation has led to anatomical issues such as a stretched pouch or fistula

Things to Keep in Mind

Revision surgeries can carry higher risks than first-time operations due to scar tissue or altered anatomy.
The type of surgery you need depends on the original procedure and your current health.
Results can still be very good, especially when combined with lifestyle changes and professional support.
