- Enhanced Weight Loss:
Frustrated by weight loss setbacks after previous procedures?
Revisional Bariatric Surgery can help you get back on track with sustainable weight loss, improved health, and a renewed sense of confidence.
Revisional bariatric surgery is a procedure for patients who have already undergone weight loss surgery but have not reached their expected results or have faced complications, such as weight regain, insufficient weight loss, or digestive issues. This surgery offers a second chance to achieve sustainable weight loss and address issues that have arisen from prior procedures.
