Patients that never lost any weight or that regained weight lost after bariatric surgery are often candidates for revision surgery. Those symptoms can happen due to a series of reasons that can go from the body’s natural healing process such as dilatations on the digestive system to fistulas generated between the new and old stomach.

For those cases in which the patient wasn’t able to lose any weight after a bariatric procedure, we can consider that as caused by not using proper material to perform the surgery or by poor installation techniques. These cases often show up as having a sleeve bigger or smaller than required or a misplaced gastric band cicatrization.

Luckily, all those patients can have a second chance by fixing their issues with a well-trained, equipped, and professional medical team. Please consider that these procedures are acknowledged as very complex surgeries and must be performed by specialists and expert doctors to diagnose, detect and fix complications on the spot.
