Bariatric Revision
Patients who undergo surgery for the treatment of obesity often achieve superb weight loss results.

The Tijuana Bariatrics network of bariatric surgeons can review your health history and evaluate your medical needs to recommend a weight loss method that will work best in your case. Through expert care, you can achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.
Patient Education
When suggesting the right form of treatment, the bariatric team will educate you on what to expect at every stage of treatment and will explain the benefits and risks associated with a revision. With thorough patient education, you will be able to make a more informed, confident decision regarding the path you want to take in achieving your weight loss goals.

BARIATRIC REVISION SURGERY METHODS
Tijuana Bariatrics works with a network of highly trained bariatric surgeons who can perform revision bariatric surgeries of virtually any type including, but not limited to:
LAP-BAND Surgery
In some cases, band slippage has resulted in patients needing revision surgery to replace or reposition the device following their original LAP-BAND® surgery. Often, LAP-BAND slippage is detected when a patient discovers that they are failing to lose weight following surgery or they begin gaining weight in the months and years following surgery.
Infection may occur in your stomach if the device erodes. When erosion takes place, a hole within the lining of your stomach is created and exposed. To correct the complication and resume your weight loss journey, your surgeon can perform a revision, including gastric sleeve surgery or gastric bypass surgery, to mend the hole and put your health back on track. And if you simply fail to see the results you had expected when undergoing LAP-BAND surgery, you may have other bariatric surgery options in addition to the gastric sleeve and gastric bypass methods, such as a Duodenal Switch procedure.
Gastric Sleeve
Even though gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most effective forms of weight loss treatment, the method may require bariatric surgery revision if the stomach stretches.
Over time, your stomach may expand, and it will need to be "re-sleeved" to prevent future weight gain. Some patients may not see desirable results following gastric sleeve surgery and could benefit from revision surgery, such as gastric bypass surgery. Another revision surgery for gastric sleeve is the Duodenal Switch.
Gastric Bypass and Mini Gastric Bypass
Stretching of your stomach may require reshaping and trimming in order for you to continue to lose weight. Through the gastric bypass or mini gastric bypass bariatric surgery, the upper portion of your stomach can be revised to achieve a better gastric bypass result. A re-sized, smaller pouch will help you to once again lose excess weight and keep it off.
Gastric Sleeve Plication
Plication surgery patients who do not experience long-term weight loss can find hope with revision surgery. Sometimes a sleeve revision may be the right solution, although a gastric bypass is often the most suitable procedure to safely achieve a healthy weight.
Effective Treatment at a Lower Cost
Bariatric revision surgery can cost as much as $30,000 or more north of the border. The network of bariatric professionals with whom Tijuana Bariatrics coordinates wants everyone to enjoy a healthy, confident life, which is why Tijuana Bariatrics provides revision surgery at about 20 percent of the U.S. cost.
Tijuana Bariatrics is proud to offer a variety of low-cost weight loss surgeries. Your cost will depend on which weight loss surgery you and your bariatric professional choose, whether it is the same or different from your original procedure. Tijuana Bariatrics offers surgery that is safe, effective, and affordable.
What to Expect
Your revision procedure will be tailored to your needs. Depending on your health, weight loss goals, and lifestyle, your revision procedure may require a different surgical option than you originally received.

A free consultation with a weight loss professional can help you get the treatment you need to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Achieving the Results You Want AFTER REVISION SURGERY
The Tijuana Bariatrics teams understand candidates for revision treatment might be especially anxious about life after bariatric surgery.

Each individual is unique, and we believe your treatment plan should reflect that throughout every stage. Losing weight is a lifelong commitment, which is why a nutritionist and other specialists will be available when you need them most.
