Types of Revision Weight Loss Surgeries

It starts with the Original Bariatric Surgery

Your bariatric surgery revision will depend on your situation. Corrections for your initial procedure or conversion surgery in Tijuana Mexico may be the best alternative for you. For example, you may experience problems after your doctor advised you to have a gastric band put in place.  In some cases, the band may shift, causing vomiting or weight gain. It all depends on the position of the band. In simple bariatric surgery revision, Dr. Nunez may adjust the position of your band or choose to put a new band in place. In a worst case scenario, you may develop serious complications after gastric band surgery.

In some cases, the band may begin to break down. As it does, it can cause a hole to be created in the lining of your stomach. A serious infection may result. When this occurs, healing of your stomach needs to be your top priority. Dr. Nunez may recommend conversion bariatric surgery in Tijuana Mexico. You may be a good candidate for a gastric bypass or a gastric sleeve procedure. These bariatric surgery revision procedures are more involved than the band. However, they are effective in promoting weight loss. They can also give your stomach the opportunity to heal when it has been damaged by complications with the gastric band.

Revision/Conversion Surgery is Ideal when your original surgery has failed.

Bariatric Surgery Revision After the Gastric Sleeve Procedure

If the gastric sleeve procedure was your initial option for weight loss surgery, a considerable portion of your stomach was permanently removed. The remaining portion of your stomach is similar to the shape and size of a banana. It is considered a gastric sleeve. The main goal of gastric sleeve surgery is to reduce the size of your stomach so that you are forced to consume smaller amounts of food each time you eat. In most cases, it works well.

One of the most common issues is an increase in the size of your sleeve over time. Your stomach may expand as it stretches. As a result, you may start consuming more calories than you should. Weight gain could occur. Dr. Nunez will discuss your options for bariatric surgery revision. He may recommend that your original sleeve is modified, reducing its size. Otherwise, conversion surgery in Tijuana Mexico may be best for you. Dr. Nunez can offer you other solutions, such as a mini gastric bypass or gastric bypass surgery.

 

Bariatric Revision Options After a Gastric Bypass

If you have had a gastric bypass or a mini gastric bypass, the main goal was to create a small pouch to reduce the size of your stomach, ensuring you consume fewer calories. Your small intestine is connected to your small pouch, sending a much smaller amount of food on for digestion. While these procedures typically have a high success rate, problems do occur.

You may develop ulcers, a bowel obstruction, begin to vomit, suffer from gallstones, or have perforation of the stomach. Regardless of what issues you may experience after any type of gastric bypass surgery, Dr. Nunez can help you with bariatric surgery revision or conversion bariatric surgery in Tijuana Mexico.
