What Is Lap Band Revision Surgery?

Lap Band Revision Surgery is a specialized procedure designed to correct problems from an existing gastric band or convert it to a different bariatric procedure. The surgery addresses complications such as slippage, erosion, or inadequate weight loss, ensuring patients can achieve sustainable results safely.

How Lap Band Revision Surgery Works

• The surgeon evaluates the current lap band placement and condition.
• The band may be repositioned, replaced, or removed entirely.
• If needed, conversion to another bariatric surgery (e.g., gastric sleeve or gastric bypass) can be performed.
• Recovery and monitoring plans are customized to optimize post-surgery results.

Who Can Benefit from Lap Band Revision Surgery

Lap Band Revision Surgery is ideal for patients experiencing challenges with their existing gastric band, whether due to mechanical issues or insufficient weight loss.

• Inadequate weight loss or weight regain after lap band surgery
• Slippage or migration of the existing band
• Band erosion or infection
• Persistent nausea, vomiting, or digestive discomfort related to the band
