Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Expert Correction for Prior Procedures

Revisional bariatric surgery is performed on patients who have previously undergone a bariatric procedure and experienced complications, insufficient weight loss, or significant weight regain. These are technically complex operations that require highly specialized surgical expertise — a core strength of the Baros Apollo team.

Apollo Chennai has achieved global firsts in this field, including the world’s first Endoscopic Revision Gastroplasty and the world’s first Single Incision Revision Surgery. Whether converting a gastric band to bypass, revising a sleeve, or performing endoscopic correction, the team brings unmatched experience to every revisional case.

Revisional procedures are tailored to each patient’s unique surgical history and current anatomy. A thorough pre-operative evaluation including imaging, endoscopy, and nutritional assessment ensures the optimal revision strategy is selected for the best possible outcome.

01. Who It's For

Revisional surgery is for patients whose initial bariatric procedure has not delivered the expected results or has led to complications that require surgical correction.

  • Patients who experienced weight regain after initial surgery
  • Complications from a previous bariatric procedure
  • Insufficient weight loss from the original operation
  • Need to convert one procedure type to a more effective one

02. How It Works

Baros Apollo offers a comprehensive range of revisional techniques, each selected based on the patient’s prior procedure, current anatomy, and weight loss goals.

Sleeve to Bypass Conversion

A prior sleeve is converted to a bypass procedure for enhanced weight loss results.

Band to Bypass Conversion

Gastric bands are removed and converted to more effective bypass procedures.

Endoscopic Revision

Non-surgical endoscopic correction of stretched pouches or dilated outlets.

Single Incision Revision

World-first SILS revision technique pioneered by the Apollo Chennai team.

03. Expected Outcomes

Revisional procedures at Baros Apollo are designed to restore the effectiveness of the original surgery. Patients can expect:

  • Renewed and sustained weight loss after prior weight regain
  • Resolution of complications from the original procedure
