Revision Bariatric Surgery in Dubai
Regaining a few kilos a year or two after surgery is expected. If a large part of the weight returns, diabetes or blood pressure come back, or severe reflux appears, we start with a full assessment, and revision surgery may be an option.
Assessment first
A diet review with the dietitian, blood tests, and an endoscopy or imaging to see the current shape of the stomach. Sometimes diet changes or medication are enough.
Types of revision surgery
- Conversion to a classic or mini gastric bypass.
- SADI-S.
- Re-sleeve in selected cases.
Revision operations are more complex than the first operation and carry higher risks, including leaks, bleeding, narrowing and vitamin or protein deficiencies, so they follow a full assessment and detailed discussion.
