May warrant consideration in select patients with post-bariatric weight regain; leaves open need for randomized data on optimal selection and durability.
Revisional surgery is an effective but technically challenging treatment option for the 10-40% of patients who experience significant weight regain after bariatric surgery.
Guarderas et al. (2020) conducted a review in Weight regain after bariatric surgery. Revisional surgery was evaluated. Revisional surgery is an effective treatment for weight regain, which affects 10% to 40% of patients 12 to 18 months after bariatric surgery, though it carries increased complication risks.
