Bariatric surgery proves to be a highly efficient and effective approach for achieving substantial weight loss. Although individuals undergoing bariatric surgery usually experience lasting results, some may encounter weight regain over several years.
If you are in this situation and feel disheartened by the weight regain, fret not! Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery offers remedies that can assist you in getting back on the right path, including bariatric revision.
Qualification – Revisional Weight Loss Surgery:
Bariatric revision presents a viable option for certain individuals, although it may only suit some. How can you determine if it’s the right choice for you? The first step is to consult with a qualified professional, such as the Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery team. We will thoroughly assess all potential factors contributing to your weight gain and determine if revisional weight loss surgery is the appropriate next step.
To begin the evaluation process, we will request you maintain a food journal, recording your food and exercise habits over a week. This valuable information will help us identify whether overeating or insufficient physical activity is the underlying issue, which is often the case. Many patients gradually increase their food intake, causing the gastric pouch to stretch and leading to weight gain. Fortunately, this can be easily addressed through our “back-on-track” program, consisting of personalized diet and exercise plans.
In cases where food and exercise aren’t the primary causes, we will explore the possibility of bariatric revision.
