Revision Surgery: Consider Adjusting a Past Surgery with the Best Bariatric Surgery San Antonio Texas Offers
Since weight loss surgery continues to grow and evolve so rapidly, we are learning that some of the operations done in the past may need to be revised or changed to help patients achieve their long term goals. One example of this is the vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG). The VBG is no longer recognized as a standard of care weight loss surgery operation. Patients who had this operation done in the past and have gained their weight back may be eligible for a revisional surgery. BMI of Texas is capable of revising most failed weight loss operations. This is often a complicated and even risky operation. As a result, not all patients will qualify for a revision surgery, especially if the risks outweigh the potential benefits.
