Weight Loss Revision Surgery
 

A revision operation is used to correct prior weight loss surgery that has failed. If you have unresolved
complications or if you have not achieved your desired weight loss, a revision operation might be right
for you.

Revision operations often convert the failed procedure to one that is better suited for the patient. In these
cases, revision surgery may result in a tremendous improvement for the patient. These procedures can usually be done laparoscopically (with small incisions). However, in some cases a large incision must be made in order to complete the operation safely. Revision operations are usually higher risk operations than first time operations.

We also offer an incisionless revision procedure called the ROSE procedure (Restorative Obesity Surgery, Endolumenal). This revision procedure can be accomplished without using any incisions. It is performed using an endoscope that goes in through the mouth. You can discuss with one of our surgeons which revision procedure might right for you.
