Revisional Gastric Banding: What You Need to Know

If you've had Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) in the past and are experiencing weight regain or reflux, revisional (corrective) surgery may be an option for you.

How Revisional Gastric Banding Works

Revisional gastric banding involves revising the initial LAGB procedure. This can be achieved through various types of surgeries, including:

• Gastric Bypass Surgery: A procedure that involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting the intestines to bypass a portion of the small intestine.

• Sleeve Gastrectomy: While less recommended, this procedure involves removing a large portion of the stomach, resulting in a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach.
