The first step is a comprehensive evaluation of your anatomy and a detailed nutritional and behavioral assessment to identify a possible cause. Depending on your original procedure, we may recommend conversion to another weight loss procedure or corrective surgery.Ĭomplications that Require Corrective Treatment While most people have success following weight loss surgery, a small group of people may require additional intervention, and possibly additional surgery, to help them reach their goal.

Insufficient Weight Loss, Weight Regain, or Unresolved/Return of Medical Conditions If you have an urgent need for revision surgery because you are suffering serious complications, we will ensure you get the care you need as quickly as possible. If You Are Experiencing Serious Complications Because these procedures are considered high risk, we want you to understand the benefits and risks of each procedure, and the lifestyle changes you need to make to ensure your surgery is successful. This is a crucially important step to optimize you for success and ensure your insurance company approves your weight loss revisional surgery. You are encouraged to research these options and bring your questions to an in-person or virtual class where we review those options and determine which revision weight loss surgery is right for you. If revision weight loss surgery is the right next step, we offer you a list of possible options based on your condition. You then undergo a physical examination, and an endoscopic diagnostic procedure to evaluate your anatomy to determine if there is a physical problem. We also take into consideration which procedure you already had, as well as your current medical condition. We take a close look at your eating and exercise habits and perform a behavioral assessment to identify a possible cause. Before we consider revision weight loss surgery, one of our weight loss surgeons will meet with you either through a video or in-person visit to review your medical history, your records, and understand your concerns.
