Revisional Bariatric Surgery with Pre-Surgical Preparation
How can you minimize your risk of complications?
- Pre-surgical preparation is crucial: The more stable you are before surgery, the lower your chances of complications.
- New recovery protocol: For 17 years, we saw consistent outcomes. However, three years ago, we implemented a new treatment that promotes faster recovery, reduces pain, and enhances the healing process.
We urge our patients to stop consuming more theory. We suggest you NOT continue on your own—real answers are found in consultation with your specialist.

Revisional Bariatric Surgery in Bogotá and Bucaramanga
Whether it’s a gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, it is essential to identify the anatomical cause of failure and reoperate to correct it.
3 Reasons to Undergo a Reoperation
- Dilation of the new stomach or gastric pouch: The pouch has expanded again, making it necessary to reoperate to reduce or repair it.
- Return to sedentary habits: The patient has stopped physical activity and reverted to unhealthy dietary patterns.
- Psychological factors: Anxiety-related eating behaviors linked to stress, leading to the adoption of anxiety-driven habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Weight regain occurs when the connection, known as the anastomosis—the sutured union made during the initial surgery—loosens and expands. This allows food to pass into the jejunum (part of the small intestine) too easily, causing the feeling of fullness only after consuming large amounts of food.
You must attend a consultation and wait for the results and interpretation of an endoscopy performed by your bariatric surgeon.
If the surgeon confirms that revisional bariatric surgery is viable, it is then up to you to follow their recommendations to prevent future weight regain.
Weight regain cannot be attributed to general causes—each patient’s situation is unique.
In rare cases, the surgeon may be responsible for selecting sleeve gastrectomy when the patient might have benefited more from a gastric bypass.
