Driving Superior Surgical Outcomes in Revisional Surgery for Weight Regain

Bariatric surgery remains the most effective and durable weight loss method available to patients. However, a significant percentage of patients may regain weight resulting in frustration, depression, and return of obesity-related co-morbidities. Revision surgery is the one of the treatment modalities for such weight regained patients. The more you do bariatric surgery, the more you need to prepare for revision surgery.
