Bariatric surgery is a tool to help obese and overweight individuals lose a significant amount of weight. While bariatric surgery is highly successful, it is not guaranteed and there are possible complications. In a small percentage of patients, a revision bariatric surgery may be necessary to address complications or facilitate achieving the desired weight loss results. Danny Shouhed, M.D. is a top-rated bariatric surgeon who offers advanced options in revision bariatric surgery through his practice in Los Angeles and Santa Monica.
Revisional bariatric surgery may be needed for a variety of reasons. One of the most common reasons a patient seeks revision for their original bariatric procedure is due to not meeting weight loss expectations. Like other diseases, obesity treatment is different for each patient. Some patients do not lose as much weight as desired or they may regain weight that was lost. Another reason for revision bariatric surgery is complications resulting from their procedure.
