Bariatric Revision Surgery
A revision surgery is the set of procedures focused on correcting or finishing a previously performed surgery. The reasons why a bariatric surgery does not deliver the desired results are as varied as the people who have this type of procedures. When someone has morbid obesity, the priority is to improve the quality of life.
Dr. Mario Camelo, Certified Specialist
It is necessary to undergo rigorous tests to know the reason why the first intervention did not take effect, before performing the second one. However, a bariatric revision surgery is a minor outpatient surgery, with less risk and a shorter recovery time.
You have not failed yet
When visiting your surgeon, you have to take into account that surgeons have to carefully analyze the state and procedure used in your first surgery. Remember that not all bariatric surgeons are prepared to perform, assess and/or approve this type of procedure, but an expert as Dr. Mario Camelo is.
Reasons why you would need a revision surgery
Your stomach is dilated again
Our organs are elastic and malleable, and—although not common —there is a small chance your stomach gets bigger after a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery.
To correct or change a bariatric method
When there is a complication or the patient wants to change or reverse a bariatric surgery.
Identify the real cause of your obesity
The cause of obesity is not as obvious as most people think it is, the surgery will not make you lose weight if there is another condition interfering. Do not hesitate in consulting with your doctor so that you work together with an endocrinologist, psychologist or nutritionist.

Corrective surgeries are mostly minor procedures, less painful and with less probabilities of having adverse effects.
When all obesity causes are solved, the success rate is 90%, and it is very important for the patient to only listen to the real experts with current certifications. This subject has an enormous amount of alarming myths that should not be listened to; that is the real danger.
