Bariatric revision surgery is one of the most effective long-term weight-loss procedures for people who are overweight or obese. It is possible, however, to begin gaining weight years after a successful weight loss operation. As time passes, diet and fitness regimens may become less critical and less of a priority. As a result, you may notice an increase in the amount of food you eat and the size of your stomach. Unfortunately, weight is regained as a result.
With a change in diet and a renewed focus on exercise, mild weight gain can occasionally be reversed. Others may need a bariatric surgery revision. This procedure should only be performed by a qualified surgeon with prior revision experience.
