What is Gastric Revision?
Gastric revision surgery corrects or converts a previous bariatric procedure that has not delivered the expected weight loss or has caused complications. Whether you need a sleeve-to-bypass conversion, pouch resizing, or repair of a dilated stoma, our experienced bariatric team tailors the revision to your specific anatomy and goals.
How Does Gastric Revision Work?
- 1Detailed online consultation reviewing your original procedure, current weight, medical history, and endoscopy or imaging results
- 2Pre-operative workup including blood tests, upper-GI imaging, and a 2-week liver-shrinking diet
- 3Laparoscopic revision surgery under general anaesthesia — the specific technique depends on the type of revision needed
- 4Intra-operative leak testing and careful inspection of the revised anatomy
- 5Hospital monitoring for 2-3 nights with graduated liquid intake before hotel transfer
Who is a Good Candidate for Gastric Revision?
- Patients who have regained significant weight after a previous bariatric procedure
- Those experiencing complications such as severe acid reflux, pouch dilation, or band slippage
- Individuals whose initial procedure did not produce adequate weight loss (less than 50% excess weight loss)
- Patients with a previous gastric band seeking conversion to a sleeve or bypass
- Adults in acceptable health for a second bariatric surgery, cleared by pre-operative assessment

Frequently Asked Questions
Common revisions include sleeve-to-bypass conversion, gastric band removal with sleeve or bypass, pouch or stoma resizing, and repair of complications such as chronic reflux after a sleeve gastrectomy.
Revision surgery is technically more complex due to scar tissue from the original operation, which slightly increases surgical time and risk. However, in an experienced bariatric centre, complication rates remain low.
Results depend on the type of revision and your starting point, but most patients lose a further 40-60% of regained excess weight within 12-18 months.
In most cases, yes. An upper endoscopy or contrast imaging helps the surgeon understand your current anatomy and plan the revision accurately.
The €3,800 all-inclusive package covers the revision surgery, anaesthesia, 2-3 night hospital stay, medications, bariatric nutrition programme, 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, and 12 months of remote follow-up.
