Revision weight loss surgery is a surgical procedure that is performed on patients who have already undergone a weight loss procedure, and have either had complications from the surgery or have not successfully achieved significant weight loss results from the initial surgery. Procedures are usually performed laparoscopically, though open surgery may be required if prior bariatric surgery has resulted in extensive scarring.
With the increase in the number of weight loss procedures performed every year, there are growing numbers of individuals who have experienced an unsatisfactory result from their procedure; perhaps if the procedure has been carried out abroad or no post procedure support has been offered which is often reported to potential patients to NOSC. If you have had previous surgery your choice of revisional surgery may be limited but certainly worth investigating.
