Revisional Bariatric Surgery in Houston, TX

Common Indicators for Bariatric Surgery Revision

Undergoing a second weight loss surgery is a big decision. You may need corrective bariatric surgery in Houston, TX, if you experience:

Significant Weight Regain

It should be noted that some weight changes are normal after surgery. However, if a big portion of the weight loss is regained, this could be due to the stomach pouch or stoma that has stretched. This issue can be resolved by revisional surgery.

Unresolved Complications

Some patients have unresolved complications that impact their daily lives. In these cases, revisional bariatric surgery can correct the anatomy, for example, converting a gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass to reduce reflux.

Inadequate Initial Weight Loss

Not everyone loses enough weight with their first surgery. If you didn’t reach at least 50% of excess weight loss despite following diet and exercise plans, a stronger metabolic procedure may be needed.

Types of Revisional Bariatric Surgery We Perform

Because every patient’s anatomy and surgical history are unique, revisional bariatric surgery is never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Chaudhry uses his advanced fellowship training to perform precise corrective surgeries at our Houston clinic, including:

• Gastric bypass revision
• Lap band to gastric sleeve or bypass conversion
• Gastric sleeve revision (re-sleeve or conversion)

The Advanced Houston Surgical Approach to Revision Surgery

Revisional bariatric surgery is complex and requires a surgeon who understands scar tissue and changes from previous surgeries. Dr. Chaudhry is known for his patient-focused care and use of modern minimally invasive techniques.

When you choose us for bariatric surgery correction in Houston, TX, your journey starts with diagnostic tests. We may use upper GI x-rays, CT scans, or endoscopy to see exactly what is happening inside.
