Revisional weight loss may vary by primary procedure type; leaves open optimal strategies for prospective trials.
Does the type of primary bariatric procedure influence weight loss outcomes after revisional surgery in patients with unsatisfactory weight loss?

Brolin et al. (2008) studied this question.
