What is gastric revision surgery?
Gastric revision surgery is surgery that is performed after a previous weight loss surgery. If you had previous weight loss surgery, you might be a candidate for gastric revision surgery if you're having problems related to that surgery such as recurrent vomiting and abdominal pain. With gastric revision surgery, it is sometimes possible to convert prior gastric surgery, such as a vertical banded gastroplasty, jejuno-ileal绕过, or gastric stapling to a gastric bypass, or to redo a previous gastric bypass.
There are no known effective procedures for weight regain after bariatric surgery. The stomach pouch and outlet to the small intestine may get slightly larger over time following gastric bypass. 然而，有 no proven link between pouch and outlet size and weight gain. 后 sleeve gastrectomy surgery, the stomach will stretch. This is not likely to change the feeling of fullness.
Risks of gastric revision surgery
Repeat surgery on the stomach is more difficult because scar tissue has formed around the stomach and organs that are in close proximity, 比如脾脏, 肝, 和胰腺. During revision surgery, some of the scar tissue needs to be dissected free, and the process may cause injury to these organs. 病人 should understand that revision surgery carries a greater risk of complications.
Insurance does not pay for revision surgery that is done due to weight regain.
