Revisional Bariatric Surgery
Revisional bariatric procedures are becoming very popular these days. This type of procedure is performed to repair or change a previously performed weight loss surgery. People require revisional bariatric surgery in some conditions such as primary inadequate weight loss, in which there is less than 25% excess body weight loss, or weight recidivism, that has weight more than 10 kg. Further, each procedure also has inherent specific complications that show warning signs or indications for which one may require revision surgery.he revision procedure is basically a non-surgical procedure, in which the doctor shrinks the opening to your stomach again, limiting its holding capacity. A bariatric revision is quite successful as it can often jump-start your weight loss process and help an individual to start losing weight gradually.
Further, the bariatric revision procedure is specifically designed for individuals who had gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy (often just called “the sleeve”) or the adjustable gastric band surgery.
Also, Bariatric revision is an outpatient procedure performed which is done under light sedation. In this, the opening of the stomach may be enlarged due to original bypass, especially if you have been eating more than you should. Also in this procedure, an endoscopic suture is used in order to shrink the stomach opening back to its original post-surgery size
There are several benefits of Bariatric revision as it is non-surgical and is performed on an outpatient basis, which means that you don’t have to go through a long recovery time and your stay at the hospital is quite less as compared. Further, the stomach capacity immediately returns to the same limited capacity it had after your initial bypass. Also, not everyone is a good candidate for the bariatric revision procedure, but many individuals are very satisfied with the type of weight loss it can provide. One may qualify for revisional weight loss surgery if the original bariatric procedure doesn’t result in optimal weight loss or if you’ve regained a significant amount of body weight. Further, regaining a small amount of weight is very common after all kinds of bariatric surgeries. Therefore ,one has to stick to the given diet plan and try to maintain the same body weight, A revisional surgery is also preferred if you have experienced complications from your original procedure.
