If you have had gastric bypass surgery and are experiencing inadequate weight loss or complications, you should consider a gastric bypass revision. With two bariatric clinics near Seattle, the team at the Center for Weight Loss Surgery is highly skilled in complex revision surgery and dedicated to helping you reach your desired weight loss goals.
At the Center for Weight Loss Surgery, we are passionate about providing gastric bypass revision options for you. Our most common gastric bypass revision procedures include:
Gastric bypass to duodenal switch: The duodenal switch is another popular and effective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass revision surgery. The gastric pouch is re-attached to the excluded stomach, which is then trimmed to create a small tubular stomach (i.e., a sleeve gastrectomy). Calorie absorption is limited by dividing the duodenum and attaching the bottom portion of the small intestine to it, bypassing the rest.
Gastric bypass to single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomyswitch (SADI/SIPS): This is a newer variation of the duodenal switch. We first create a gastric sleeve, as described above. We then limit calorie absorption by dividing the duodenum and attaching a loop of small intestine, bypassing the rest.
Gastric bypass to malabsorptive gastric bypass: In a traditional proximal gastric bypass, only one-fourth of the small intestine is bypassed. A malabsorptive gastric bypass limits more calorie absorption by bypassing more of the small intestine.
Adjustable gastric band around the pouch of the gastric bypass: This revision procedure restores restriction from a pouch that has enlarged or one where the opening out of the pouch (stoma) has dilated.
