How to know if it is necessary to perform revision bariatric surgery?

The first step is to determine if the bariatric surgery you already had failed. Although this is determined by the surgeon in detail with each patient, some of the characteristics that define that a bariatric procedure is unsuccessful are:

  • Weight loss is less than 50% than expected
  • Weight is lost but after a short time it is recovered (partially or totally)
  • The patient is intolerant to solid foods when he should already tolerate them.
  • The patient's quality of life decreases, instead of improving.
  • There are complications or disorders caused by the first bariatric surgery.

Your bariatric surgeon will also determine why the surgery failed. There are numerous reasons why a bariatric procedure can fail, consequently preventing a patient from achieving goals like losing weight or improving their health.
