Revision bariatric Surgery, all you need to know

Revision bariatric surgery is a highly specialized field, and Dr. Huacuz, a board-certified bariatric surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico, is experienced in performing complex revision procedures. These surgeries are designed to address issues such as weight regain, inadequate weight loss, or complications from a previous bariatric procedure. Below is a detailed overview of the revision surgeries Dr. Huacuz performs, including conversions from one procedure to another, and what you can expect from the process.

Types of Revision Bariatric Surgery Performed by Dr. Huacuz

 

Gastric Sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB)

 

This surgery involves removing a portion of the stomach, leaving a slim “sleeve” for food.

Why Choose This? For patients who experienced inadequate weight loss or weight regain after a gastric sleeve.
Procedure: The stomach pouch created during the sleeve gastrectomy is connected to a loop of the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and intestine to enhance weight loss.

Benefits: Improved weight loss and resolution of reflux or other complications.

 

Gastric Sleeve to RNY Gastric Bypass

Why Choose This? For patients with severe reflux, weight regain, or complications after a gastric sleeve.
Procedure: The stomach pouch is connected to the small intestine, bypassing the duodenum and part of the jejunum.
Benefits: Effective for weight loss and resolving reflux or metabolic issues.

 

Mini Gastric Bypass to Full Gastric Bypass

Why Choose This? For patients with complications like bile reflux or inadequate weight loss after a mini gastric bypass.
Procedure: The mini gastric bypass is revised to a traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which involves creating a more complex intestinal bypass.
Benefits: Reduces bile reflux and improves weight loss outcomes.

Gastric Sleeve to SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy)

Why Choose This? For super obese patients or those needing more significant weight loss and metabolic improvement.
Procedure: The sleeve gastrectomy is combined with a single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass to enhance malabsorption and weight loss.
Benefits: Significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities.
